Eric Fredrickson is a Founder at Creative Coding 4 Kids based in Seattle, Washington, United States, North America. Founder of many small companies, some of which actually made money! Currently engaged full time growing my latest baby, the accidental but wonderful CreativeCoding4Kids.com. Former IT Product Development Director, Marketing, Oracle Database Developer, and Management Consultant. Have run successful international PR campaigns and been quoted in New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, and trade publications. Excellent public speaking and training skills. Experience leading marketing and software development teams, strong sales experience, and good at shaping company strategy. My favorite thing to do is help people start new companies, or make significant improvements to existing companies. Right now I'm focused on helping my current team grow our own business, but as a consultant, I specialized in working with owners or upper management who are empowered to make decisions. I am a "Big Picture" thinker who looks ahead and then revels in solving the puzzle of the future. I do this by asking a lot of questions, and helping people find new approaches to solving problems. I stay away from Operations and Project Management jobs. I respect those skills but they don't play to my strengths. What I thrive on is creating new things, and solving interesting problems. One of the reasons I avoid Operations is that I'm constantly looking for ways that things could be better. This makes me good at growing companies but bad at maintaining them. It took me a while to figure that out! I am not currently seeking new consulting clients. Secretly, I am a creative artist and musician. Oops, not so much of a secret now I guess.
