In a world increasingly dominated by large institutions and very specialized businesses, John Groom has taken a different path, engaging in a wide variety of entrepreneurial ventures, always trying to find a new and better way of creating value.

While America's major corporations have defaulted on debt and required government bailouts, Groom has an immaculate credit record. Groom does not seek or accept any government subsidies or grants, or SBA loans. His media ventures are self-financed. The real estate ventures involve high net worth equity investors, but no loans or debt.

Since 1987, Groom has focused on real estate developments and various media ventures, including book publishing, web publishing, and art. Groom's media ventures have been recognized by CNN, USA TODAY, Reuters, Playboy, the Boston Globe, Yahoo, and many others), To learn more about Attitude Media click here.

Notable among current ventures are a 10 acre mixed used development (Site Map, Area Map) near a future Metro stop at Dulles International Airport in the Washington DC area and Attitude Media's long running email lists with over 60,000 subscribers. In 2012 we expect to launch a major new web initiative.

Decisions are made very quickly, because there is only one decision maker. We have a well-defined and time tested method of developing new projects based on extremely low overhead and outsourcing all non-core functions, including research, editing, web site development, graphic design, programming, web hosting, and many others.

We have worked with hundreds of professionals, including accountants, lawyers (contract, trademarks, intellectual property, litigation) engineers, surveyors, and many others. We now have a number of contractors from around the world working on the forthcoming attitudemedia web venture. Current and past contractors have resided in the US, Canada, Argentina, China, Bangladesh, Romania, Scotland, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, and elsewhere.
