Cole’s History

The conceptual ideas for his Special Interest products began in 1989 at age 27 in Nashville Tennessee.  Let me remind you that the travel channel, discovery channel or other like channels had not even started.   

His passion for special interest programs started out as a hobby while working in Corporate America, Through his own corporate travels he was always curious about history and understanding why city and local entertainment was so important in the United States and/or Abroad.  His idea and thoughts were “Americans wanted to learn and see more through his travels about our great country". 

Being a visual learner him self he first started by creating the concept, designing, producing historical Travel videos and selling to retail stores.  In early 1994, by accident he stumbled upon a niche market while doing research at a local library looking for distribution possibilities. 

A librarian ask if she could help with research and turns out she did by suggesting that I call on libraries and schools, they were looking for just this type of media.

Immediately I began to hire a small direct sales staff to test and call on 120,000 schools and libraries nationwide.   She was right, almost every library in the country purchased the products.  Some libraries even placed ads in there local papers to let others in the community know when new programs were expected to arrive. 

The company grew quickly, built an award winning product mix of digital media, a national distribution network, the only thing missing was delivery technology.   By 1995 Cole saw the future opportunity using the Internet technology to delivery information to create global distribution.  

By 1999 he continued selling educational videos to create company cash flow while forming an Internet technology company that would deliver content combined with digital Internet streaming technology and web based software application across the Internet during the pioneer days of low Internet band width. 

By 2002, need less to say the company jumped light years ahead of most other companies trying to accomplish the same.  During this time the industry term the industry technology  "e-learning". 

Over night the company became know as Digital Education Technology Corporation, delivering technology, content and distribution globally.  With great partners in place the company was looking at going public with in the year.

The content technology was built using the same principles of producing travel media except he turned the production in to an electronic digital content manufacturing business.  His knowledge producing travel videos gave him the experience produced, partner and created hundreds of e-learning program courses for k-12, vocational schools, college, corporate training and consumers that were to be delivered via the Internet through global distribution networks. 

However, the company ran into a few small problems, the business lost its focus & momentum in late 2001 when Cole lost 100% of his hearing.  Almost immediately, he had to step away from his normal role as president and visionary to tend to his health.  With him gone the company was still too new for other to run with the concepts, sell and build revenue partners.  

Not sure where to go with things while he searched for medical help the company lost momentum and closed the doors by 2005. 

If you believe in spiritual intervention, this was the time he stopped and listened, what choice did he have, Right? During this time he has been quietly healing himself, spending time with family, friends and reinventing himself for part 2 of his life. 

After 5 years of peace, healing, creating, developing new ideas and concepts he is ready to step back out in the industry to finish what he started, however, this time his plans are to share his knowledge and experiences through teaching others by example to avoid his lessons and remember to step back and appreciate the rewards from hard work.

Today, Cole has a large portion of his hearing back and is taking life - work with a different approach by remembering what is important; family, friends peace of mind and utilizing available tools, relationships and technology to accomplish his goal. 

Change is an every day occurrence, take action, build quality relationships, lead by example and help others achieve success.  Work hard, create value for your services, create an income for your family but never forget about your own wellness and health along the way. 

Time is now, ELOC Digital Technologies will more than make up for lost time... web technology has caught up with his vision of building a global distribution,education training network businessthat  leverages on line digital platforms like video, articles, emails, social media, social directories, publishing sites. local to global distribution sending over 10 million messages per month and growing. 

His 20 plus years of experience and knowledge has not gone to waste.... Look where we are now....  Content is still king, advanced band using Technology -- YouTube, video, Online movies and now Internet marketing & global distribution capabilities, Are you kidding?  "Time is Now" This is what he started in 1989 for what we use today. :-)

The Internet is still in the early stages for building digital media marketing strategies...  Stay tune for part 2 Digital Media Technology, Content and Distribution.  It is not over yet!  It is just getting started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
