WORK HISTORY

ABOUT DIEGO KIRSCH

I grew up in the antiquarian book trade, the son of two booksellers, and am a fifth generation bookseller. It\'s now very difficult to retail books unless you’re catering to the extreme high end, so with my extensive computer & IT background I started a Mac service and repair business in the late 90’s to supplement and quickly replace the book business. At the peak of the Mac service in the early 00s we had over 1,800 clients across north Georgia, mostly in the Music, Video, Science and Business fields. This formed the base for a lot of future connections and ventures. I have been in eCommerce since before eBay (I used to mail checks for my fees to AuctionWeb, now eBay) selling books and used Mac parts though newsgroups. In 2001 I got out of brick and mortar retail and transitioned completely to online sales and Asset Recovery, growing that company to sqft warehouse and 45 employees over a few short years. Now I spend my time growing and marketing eCommerce brands, subscription services, and private label products. I’ve spent a lot of time working in Film and TV. As a side business I’ve been supplying vintage electronic props/set dec to Film and TV for almost 20 years. Interests include but are not limited to: Startups. Film and TV production and distribution. Vintage Electronics. Physical Media.
