Needs a complete rewrite

[edit]

This article needs to be rewritten in a content neutral fashion. As it was written, it read as if it was written by a marketing firm, and includes NUMEROUS unnecessary multiple links. Wikipedia should be a about fact, not as a tool to promote the subjects career. Sjkoblentz (talk) 22:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You were dead right; it was copied from the company's website in 2006 (see below). That stuff has been removed. Now it just needs someone to write some encyclopaedic content about this not uninteresting person. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:40, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
