I met this guy at a business mixer in Portland. He tried to sell (scam) me his advice on business. No background in business, no education, all mouth and a total narcissist. He abslutely loved to talk about himself.
I had already heard about this guy from a few other people around town. They said he was just a kid who passed off other peoples ideas as his own. Their advice was to stay away from him and to never share an idea with him. I took their advice but still found humor in the conversation I was having with him because of what I already knew. They were right. He passed off at least 3 ideas that I was told he stole from others, and never even brought up anyone else other than himself. What a tool. Short little guy too.
I can see why he has such a bad reputation in town after reading these other reports listed here. It sounds like he's getting what he deserves.
