WorxWare

Family is more important to me than anything else. My wife and I have been married 37 years (married in '71). We have a son and daughter and three grandsons. A fourth grandchild is expected soon.

There was a lot of work-related travel while my own children were growing up. I do not travel any more, other than vacation and emergencies, and spend a lot more time enjoying the grand children.

My career has spanned many disciplines including sales, marketing, IT, and general business development. At one point in my career, I was Chief Operating Officer of a satellite internet company. One of the early projects in launching this startup was a study to determine whether to build or buy a content management system. The research project turned into a passion for open source. It was quite a revelation to find that many open source projects are better built, have more features, are more stable, and better supported than many commercial products and services.

After the satellite internet company closed down from lack of funding, I started my own company (Worx International Inc.). It's not a big company, but I enjoy it immensely.

We focus exclusivly on internet development. Until recently, we were developers-to-the-developers. Since January of 2009, we have introduced more retail-oriented services and products. We continue our efforts in Open Source and contribute through several projects -- mainly email retailed.

Our software is featured in many other open source, private and commercial projects.

Personally, I am available for consulting on projects and my company is available for projects of any size.
