General Partner:
Ken Rowland, founder IntraMedia Networks is a specialist in networked communications, sales, and marketing for multi-media services, branding, new product launches. He has been a newspaper publisher, advertising executive, and software developer-manufacturer for advanced communication technologies.
Ken credits the late author/novelist Robert Parker, a teacher, lecturer, and friend, for providing humor to a listless, though formative, college classroom. In the fantasy-world of nascent collegiate beginnings, he referenced Mr. Rowland as an 'oxy-moron', mostly moronic, for taking up residence at an engineering school to pursue the Humanities, and become a writer. kr@intramedianet.com
