Who am I?

I’m Henry Vernon Lyons, Jr., the force behind Lyons Gold Standard Multimedia LLC (LGM), IMOA Entertainment, and HVLYONS Graphic Design Studios. My life’s journey has been anything but ordinary. LGM stands as a testament to my dream of democratizing technology, offering a spectrum of services from advertising and marketing to web design, hosting, and tech support. My passion doesn't stop there; as an educator, I've turned my enterprises into nurturing grounds, mentoring, and empowering at-risk youth with the tools they need for success.

As a cum laude graduate from Mercy College, armed with degrees in both computer information systems and special education, I bring over two decades of rich expertise in technology and education. My skill set spans programming, database management, computer graphics, and seamlessly integrating systems to create innovative solutions.

Over the years I have developed, designed, and implemented several Throughout my career, I've left my mark across New York City, developing cutting-edge computerized management systems and pioneering computer-based curriculums for the Department of Education. My consultancy work has breathed new life into numerous small businesses in the Big Apple, while my leadership roles in a top New York technology firm have further solidified my reputation as a visionary in web design and project management. Currently, I'm working with a roster of clients which includes new startups like Hudson Neonate, a pioneering Newborn Childcare company.

But that's not all—my creative flair shines through in my writing, with two published works to my name: a poetry collection titled "Deep Thoughts" and a foray into the fantastical with my science fiction novel "Supernature."

My long-standing commitment to closing the "DIGITAL DIVIDE" has not gone unnoticed; in 1997, I was honored with the Manhattan Borough President's Volunteerism Award for my efforts working with community-based organizations and local youth. Inspired to drive change at a higher level, I even ventured into politics in 2004, running for district leader in Brooklyn's 43rdassembly district.

So, this is who I am. Henry Vernon Lyons, Jr.—educator, innovator, author, and a believer in the power of technology to transform lives.
