Kaare Pedersen is an author, publisher, public speaker, webmaster, video producer, marketing consultant and business reinvention specialist. He is the owner and operator of Dollarism® Marketing.

In his book "Reinventing Your Comany and Reinventing Yourself," Kaare introduced the Intensified Marketing Orgasm (IMO) that describes an unusually effective marketing campaign. He is developing a multi-media training program to show small business owners how to experience their own IMO.

He has been a resident of Effingham, Illinois for the past 22 years after moving there from the Chicago area.
Kaare was born in Risor, Norway and moved away from his family to Chicago at the age of 19 without knowing a single person in the U.S. His initial plans of staying two years in Chicago before moving back to Norway turned into Kaare becoming a permanent resident and a U.S. Citizen.

After a few years in the U.S. Army during the Viet Nam era, Kaare studied marketing at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA before moving back to Chicago again.

Kaare is happily married to Dawn and has two wonderful adult daughters, Kristina and Tanya.
