Backing.
Philip Odegard has been getting into trouble with addicted to computer technology since receiving his first laptop in 1993 at age 7, surfing the interwebs’ through an lightning-fast AOL dial-up connection, having launched his first online business LevelThreeRocketry.com several years later in 1996. Rocketry started as a weekend hobby for Philip with his father and friends, in which later turned out to be the driving catalyst towards Philip's entrepreneurial mindset.

In the late year of 1996 the Rocketry hobby had a lack of general online presence, particularly in rich media content, Philip’s contributions towards creating rich media Blogs helped influence the social media growth of his favorite hobbies, specifically with Sport Model Rocketry. LevelThreeRocketry.com was transformed into the 'MySpace' of the Sport Rocketry industry, delivering video and photo media from various local and national Sport Rocketry club launch events.

Visitors worldwide had the ability to log-on via the websites social community functionality and become members on the Rocketry site to opt-in and receive notifications of news in the hobby, as well as connect with one another in chat rooms and start discussions or seek technical help in the community forums. Philip aided in bringing the international Rocketry community together through innovative web technologies, and even discovered a way to monetize it, in lieu of covering the site's operating costs.

Monetizing websites opened a new door towards development that literally 'Launched' Philip's online projects and future ventures. The key to LevelThreeRocketry.com's success was viral media and channeled social network marketing which brought in a tremendous amount of traffic enabling the site’s success in selling online sponsored and affiliate advertising. Odegard viewed the Rocketry site’s success as a foundation of practices that could be applied using the same methodologies’ towards driving the online awareness of various industries.
