Bio

Hi all! My name is John Sphar and I am a Youth Venture in San Jose and Chico, California. My current venture is in online photographic sales, which will eventually allow photographers from all around the United States to showcase their photographs on an online storefront with the ability to sell to customers.
My interests are mountain biking, photography, linux, guitar, information technology, and entrepreneurship. I attend California State University, Chico with a double major in Business Administration and Computer Science. I have been a professional photographer for a year now and love the work. I currently shoot for Chico High School and the Bay Area's NBC11.
A big part of my life is SAGE, which stands for Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship. We are actually pretty closely related to Youth Venture and I have fallen in love with both programs. I am the Webmaster for the brand new website www.sageglobal.org which is the blog and www.sageglobal.org/forum which is the forum. Our school-based website is at www.csuchico.edu/sage. I go around California mentoring high school business teams, which eventually compete statewide, possibly nationally, and possibly internationally. I just took the position of USA Coordinator for SAGE and am excited to see what SAGE can accomplish this coming year.

Goals

  • I have started a venture and want to share insights
  • I want to develope USA SAGE.

Interests

Business, Civic Engagement and Voting, College/University, Community Beautification, Community Development, Community Organizing, Cultural Awareness, Health, Media, Mentoring, Music, Peace and Non-Violence, Poverty, Technology, Youth Empowerment

Guestbook

Global sustainability is the foundation of the future and the guarantee of the golden resource called entrepreneurship. The study of economics proves this resource a reality in which all regions of Earth must encourage and respect. Youth Venture is a program which reaches beyond that of the norm in order to exponentially satisfy this global want by providing the means to emerging generations. I am proud to be apart of this growing organization which promotes the budding interest of sustainability while boosting the bar of how to measure project promotion of sustainability encouragement.

Hi! I'm checking out SAGE right now, but if you could tell me a little more about it from the point of view of somebody who's involved, that would be great! Thank you. I'm particularly interested because I'm an entreprenuer (Worbat, LLC - almost completely online, coming soon) and I'm planning on starting more businesses in the near future.

Namaste,
Matt
