His business knowledge, accompanied by his ability to create and articulate our value proposition, will be instrumental in building and executing our business development sales and marketing strategy. Smith’s experiences in formulating "go to" market strategies and win/win relationships for enterprise partnerships will significantly accelerate our business development initiatives we have underway."

Specialty Match Network was founded in June of 2003 by Harrer & Hunter with a vision to build online dating and social networks to cater to specific niche markets. Each of these unique niche sites will enable people to meet and network with other people who share the same interest. The first niche property, http://www.MyCountryMatch.com was launched in December of 2003 and caters to single adults who share a passion for country music and traditional values.
