C I Host CEO Faulkner Launches College Tour At USC
Entrepreneur To Motivate, Share Success Tips
FORT WORTH (January 7, 2005) - C I Host, a global leader in Web hosting and Internet solutions, today announced CEO Christopher Faulkner will begin a national campus-to-campus tour, kicking off at the University of Southern California (USC) on January 11. Faulkner, an entrepreneur who started C I Host from his one-bedroom apartment in 1995, has lead the company to become the largest privately held Web hosting firm, serving 215,000 clients in 190 countries.
"I'm a big advocate for motivating entrepreneurial-minded students to pursue their dreams," Faulkner said. "Taking a big risk can result in a big reward. It helps to have someone with real-world experience share what he or she has learned - to inspire and encourage others. Having just turned 28, I can still relate to college students and speak their language - even the national champ Trojans."
Faulkner will share his passion, business-savvy and valuable lessons with aspiring students at numerous universities across the nation during the Spring 2005 semester.
"Our economy relies on entrepreneurs," Faulkner said. "I want to do a my part to help them succeed now and in the future."
