I love the way that SurfAholics Alpha gel together as a team. They look out for one another, help one another and support one another.
Obviously they are not the only team to do this but when you see this in action it is really quite wonderful…to me it captures the whole essence of CTP Teams.
Today on their team blog they have chosen to highlight member Valentin Mavrodin, 27, from Bucharest, Romania.
Valentin has been a member of CTP from two years and regularly attends TELive. In fact he is often not able to log into the live shows (We love you Spreecast) and when this happens he listens to the recordings so he can catch up on what he missed. If you are reading this Valentin you can safely miss last Thursday’s show as it was just Jon and I watching the World Cup on TV…not our best performance but this just happen once every four years.
But back to Valentin. He is dedicated and passionate about working online and constantly wants to learn new things. This attitude will take him far.
He recently quit smoking for two reasons…
- smoking is bad for you and you really shouldn’t do it.
- the money he saved allowed him to upgrade in AdKreator. (If only more people online had that sort of attitude.) and he has been putting his upgraded AdKreator membership to good use.
The “Did You Know That…?” series of splash pages are all his work…
In case you are not familiar with them the look like this…
It would also be fair to say that he is something of a fan of CTP badges…I mean having a website dedicated to them is a big clue here…
And finally…Valentin will also design a splash page for you…

Nice pages Valentin.
I always enjoy running into Valentin’s pages. Seeing all of the CTP badges collected together like that reminds me of days past as an avid stamp and sticker collector. Very cool indeed. I wish you only the best of success, dude. Cheers!
Yaay for you Valentin! I have watched many struggle with trying to quit smoking and other healthy decisions. Having a goal is a good way to work things out and you chose one that is helping you in other ways. Keep on keepin’ on and know that others are rooting 4 u.
Absolutely inspirational. Wonderful job giving credit where credit is due. I enjoyed this post very much thank you for taking time away from the soccer games to write it. Lol.

well done Val, and wish you great Success in the future.
Congrats Valentin!
Valentin showed me his badge website shortly after completing it and I can honestly say that the level of dedication and attention to detail blew me away. On top of that, he’s also an annoying nice guy lol.
Can’t fault you Valentin – great effort deserves great reward š
great job Valentin š
Val is talented, creative and helpful to all. He’s an excellent teammate and inspires all around him. Enjoy your well earned praise!

WOW Valentin, congrats on finding a way to quit smoking, that takes you in the direction of improving your business. That is AWESOME!! I have seen your splashes while surfing & I was impressed. You are a great designer. Keep up the great work.
Keep up the good work Valentin…there should be more like you
Nice shout out Patrick…Valy does not hesitate to share and create for not just team members, but also for members of the CTP community!
Valentin,
You are a stand up guy we have only chatted a few times I can tell you have a healthy attitude and want to do your best at all times. Small wonder that your teammates love you. Not to mention you have vision.
I wish you nothing but the best,
Gary
Good work, Valentin! And congratulations on quitting smoking!
Awesome page with all the badges!
Nice piece Patrick! WTG Val, you deserve the spotlight. Jim is so happy!
WTG Valetin! I am very happy hat you chose not to smoke any more… Keep up the great work on your splash ads too. Great ideas my friend!keep it up….
talented and dedicated – he’s definitely going to succeed
WTG Valentin on turning a bad thing into a good thing. I used to smoke and know how hard it is for some to quit. I used to quit every birthday and on new years. It would last 2 or 3 months and then I would be on a guys night out or something; one cigarette and I would be back to a pack a day. Best thin I ever did was quit for good. The good that you do for helping other people with graphic designs is awesome. Buy two and get one free. What a deal!
WOW thank you everybody for all the GREAT comments! Really appreciate it! Great new stuff yet to come so stay tuned!
It’s great to get to know you a little better Valentin. That’s what team work is all about, is learning about your team members and learning how to work with them together for a common goal. Great stuff Patrick.
Nick
Keep up the good work Valentin!
Congrats Valentin!
Not only for your awesome pages but also for quit smoking (i know it’s not easy. I failed on that). Can you be one more inspiration for me to quit smoking, for the 3rd time?
Keep up the good work! š
