Ron Jackson
Founder & President
Internet Edge, Inc.

Welcome!
The primary purpose of this site is to make it easier for
people I have known over the years to find me! While working in
radio, TV, the music business (and now the internet industry) I made
many great friends and acquaintances, but unfortunately in the
course of my journey I lost track of a lot of people I care about.
The internet is the greatest communications tool devised to date, so
I decided to use it to help restore some of those treasured
connections.
The idea came to me when an old high school pal I hadn't heard
from in decades contacted me after a Google
search for Ron Jackson led him to my bio page at DNJournal.com
(an internet trade magazine that my company publishes). I have a
number of business sites on the web, but thought a personal site
would make it easier for people like him to find me in the search
engines. I have looked for many former acquaintances in that way
myself and usually come up empty. If they had their own sites it
would make the task much easier, so I am hopeful this site will
demonstrate how useful personal sites can be in bringing people
together, even when geography and time have pulled them apart!

Brief History
I am currently the President of Internet Edge, Inc., a
web publishing company I founded in 2000 to launch the third
career I have crammed into one lifetime! Details are in the Bio
section but in brief, I began as a radio-TV broadcaster in the
late 60's and spent the next 20 years in that profession (most
of it as a TV sportscaster in Florida's beautiful Tampa Bay
area). In the late 80's I moved into the music business by
opening the first in a chain of record stores that I operated
until 2000. After opening a website for the music business in
1997, I became fascinated with the boundless potential of the
internet and by 2000 I had decided opportunities on the web were
so exciting that I wanted to spend all of my time pursuing them.
Almost 20 years later, I have no regrets about that decision, in fact
I'm more excited than ever!
