MJ DeMarco is the current founder of Viperion Publishing Corp., a media company focused on online and print content distribution. He also is admin/founder for The Fastlane Forum, the webs' leading destination forum for start-up, finance, and entrepreneurial business discussions. He was the former start-up Founder/CEO of Limos.com (1997-2007), a global ground transportation aggregator and marketplace that he successfully built and grew into a profitable multimillion dollar company, all with no money, no formal training, and with just a few employees. In 2001, he sold the company and later reacquired the company via bankruptcy reorganization. He later sold the company again in 2007 to a Phoenix based private equity company. Not long ago, MJ DeMarco lived with his mother, mopped floors, and sought the dream like so many others: the dream to live free from bosses, 9-5 jobs and life mediocrity. Through rigorous years of self-study, countless errors and failures, MJ cracked the code to wealth and shockingly discovered that it had nothing to do with jobs, 401(k)s, mutual funds, or penny-pinching your life away for 40 years. By rejecting society's preordained "settle-for-less" financial roadmap, MJ was able to "retire" YOUNG in his thirties without sacrificing lifestyle. (Yes, he drinks Starbucks coffee, drives exotic cars, and hasn't canceled the movie channels! OMG!) In retirement, he writes part-time and operates his forum which promotes Fastlane entrepreneurship. He lives in beautiful Scottsdale Arizona and enjoys traveling, dining, entrepreneurship, softball, fitness and nutrition, working out and obviously, has a fanatical passion for the Lamborghini marquee.
