Ocean was founded by John Tisdale in 1995 for the purpose of helping people overcome the constraints that keep them from experiencing the most life has to offer. Our emphasis is on spiritual content and community discussions designed to help people gain the insights needed to help them become the person they want to be. The tone of the site is non-religious, honest, transparent and upbeat. It's all about empowering people to breakfree of ineffective mindsets, principles and strategies.

Our goal is to continue broadening the depth and breadth of content to significantly enrich the user experience and the impact it has on their lives. We are constantly looking for strategic partners with similar priorities and goals as well as individuals who believe in our values. This includes content developers, movie reviewers, language translators, volunteers, community forum moderators and people to help get the word out.

John Tisdale spent a decade in college and graduate school involved in two primary fields of study - theology and technology. The two fields seemed like an unusual pairing at the time. But, John has combined these fields in some unique ways over the past 25 years.

He has been an avid writer on both subjects publishing his work in technology and faith-based magazines and professional journals for over two decades. His technical skills grew to include computer hardware and software, database development, Internet and Web, video production, television broadcasting, satellite communications, and audio production. John has worked extensively in Silicon Valley as a technology, communication and marketing consultant for over 15 years. He spent 7 years building a global satellite and internet-based television network for the computer industry that has been used by Microsoft, IBM, HP and numerous other technology leaders. He has produced many live and taped television shows, training programs, distance learning solutions, audio and worship CDs, training DVDs, ebooks and Web sites. John also has worked extensively in online marketing, SEO/SMO and interactive engagement architecture.

John has consulted for many of the largest faith-based organizations such as Billy Graham Evangelist Association, Campus Crusade for Christ, John McDowell Ministries and many others. He specializes in helping organizations understand the business opportunities for leverage advanced communication systems to engage and impact lives around the world. His focus over the past decade has been in online engagement architecture, user experience design, information architecture and SEO/SEM/SMO.

John’s passion is to see both individuals and organizations overcome their past constraints in order to reach their potential and fulfill their destinies as world changers. He has started several organizations over the years including an epublishing and media production organization called Bright Light Group (which is responsible for publishing this and many other such websites). His technology and media consulting company is called Tandem Partners. You can visit John's site at www.JohnTisdale.com. John resides in Forth Worth with his wife Anita (a singer, songwriter and worship leader). They are also involved in international mission work, particularly in the Baltic region (helping bring hope as well as spiritual and emotional healing to war-torn regions).
