I'm Tom Eckmann and I'd like to welcome you to my website.  I've worked for more than 35 years with startup, early-stage and growth companies.  I've been a senior consultant with several international firms, led operations for a public company, and started six companies of my own.  I have a passion for entrepreneurship, and when I'm not running, writing about, or advising a start-up company, I'm teaching about them at the University of Washington.

My latest start-up is AllGreen Renewables, a venture focused on sustainable power and heat for homes.  We are building the first trusted brand in renewable energy for the home.  We offer homeowners a portfolio of biomass heating, wind, solar and smart grid solutions, including a line of AllGreen-branded products from manufacturers in Europe.  We deliver these products through one-stop-shop renewable energy centers located inside existing big-box retail stores.  AllGreen will become the place to go for manufacturers seeking distribution and consumers aspiring to save money and live in a more environmentally sustainable way. 

Personally, I do business as Absolute Business Services Inc., a company I started with my wife in 1993 to manage our various career endeavors.  Since I like to do lots of things, usually at the same time, this umbrella business entity helps me keep things straight.

In 2004 I wrote my first book, An Interpreneur’s Journey: The Birth of a New Economy Business.  It is the first of several written to help first-time entrepreneurs.  It is the fictional account of a new business start-up and provides real-life examples of what first-time, and for that matter, serial entrepreneurs can expect when starting a new company.  It is a “how to” intended to show people how to create new businesses and reinvent old ones using the Internet.  I believe Internet entrepreneurs ––Interpreneurs––and "new economy" businesses will lead the way in the 21st century.  For more information, please visit my other website (www.NewInterpreneur.com).
