Having a hand in the original product concepts and application design, naturally I had a vested interest. I also believe strongly that we can help companies become better in so many different ways. Itโs rewarding that many of our first clients still run our product and still get value out of it many years later.
The people here are awesome. Good people attract good people. This applies to both our staff and customers. Itโs been interesting to me to watch the momentum generated over the last 7 years with this simple concept.

All of it. We have a great team which makes it enjoyable and so much easier. We have great clients that have wrapped their businesses around our products and count on us as an extension of companies. The product continues to evolve, and weโre headed down an exciting path with AI and IoT!

Data. Iโm a data nerd and see the value in information. We always collected reliable data and with the advancements in AI, weโre making tremendous progress with predictive analytics that will help folks build great companies.

Many interests and hobbies. I love being outside and buying a Fat Bike last fall kept me relatively sane over this pandemic winter.
