Matthew Kenney

Rhode Island MicroEnterprise Association Board member Matthew Kenny visited Rhode Island this past week from his home base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was in the state to meet with his real estate agent to research and tour a large school property on the East Bay as well as meet with some of the staff at the Rhode Island MicroEnterprise Association. Kenny, a serial entrepreneur and educator, will complete his doctorate degree at Nova Southeastern University in June 2007.

A goal is nothing more than a dream with a time limit.
