Meet the Next Internet Millionaire Contestants - Group #3

Thor Schrock - Lincoln, Nebraska

Thor describes himself as an idea factory . . . 80% of his ideas are garbage, but 20% are solid gold. Thor's innovation and drive has allowed him to build a highly successful computer repair business in his home town. He also has a top radio show that focuses on helping people solve their computer problems. Thor is a frequent contributor to Smart Computing Magazine.

My take on Thor - He's the average Joe of the competition. While it's admirable that he wants to donate his winnings to charity, he may end up fading into the background.

Debbie Ducic - Pueblo, Colorado

Debbie has worked in retail sales, as a financial advisor, construction company co-owner, and a multimedia marketer. She's a local community volunteer and ran for Vail Town Council. Okay, now that the boring stuff is out of the way. Here's some of the hobbies that Debbie has enjoyed: Human kite, reverse bunji, cliff jumping, slick rock mountain biking, wild mushroom eating, inlet water skiing, and something called Mykonos Moped wrecking.

My take on Debbie - Debbie is a self-described gutsy woman who sometimes causes a ruckus. She seems to have a big CAN DO spirit that's infectious in a good way. I can't wait to see what she does on this show.

Jason Marshall - Ocean City, New Jersey

Jason is a former high school math teacher who coaches a wrestling team. He's currently a one-on-one aide working with a student with muscular dystrophy. He says he's good with money and a quick learner. He has experience with computers and has a passion for marketing. He's also a youth minister. As a hobby, he enjoys performing magic tricks.

My take on Jason - Jason is a devoted Christian with a lot of energy and a good heart. We'll see if he has the competitive drive it'll take to get far in this competition. I can see him possibly running into an ethical snag that will involve a line he might not be willing to cross, or will he?

Laura Martin - Austin, Texas

I'm independent, yet personable and like doing things myself rather than having someone else do it . . . in the past couple of months I have been to 8 states and 2 countries . . . I'm still trying to find my "niche" not only in Internet Marketing but with life as well . . . I love God, my family and friends, traveleing, my laptop, helping people, photography and anything outdoors.

My take on Laura - She seems rather clueless about internet marketing and admits she's lazy. While she's a nice girl, her interest in doing the challenges could wane quickly. My prediction is that she'll either make a fast exit or be a big time floater.
