Xpress Group, Inc. was created to acquire Xpress Software, Inc., which I founded in 1981. I served as a member on 36 State and Federal Committees dealing with the transfer of personal information and data security for over 21 years. Federal Committees included the IRS, IRS ETA (Electronic Taxation Administration), US Department of Treasury, CID (Criminal Investigation Division of Treasury), SSA (Social Security Administration) and INS (US Immigration and Naturalization Service) as well as South Carolina State Department of Revenue and 6 other States. I was a founding member of many of these committees, including the committees that created e-File and the Internet. I continue to participate in Industry and Government Committees. My focus is on eliminating fraud, IP theft, and cybercrimes. One example: Xpress 'edits' saved the I.R.S almost a Billion dollars in each of a number of filing seasons. Many of these edits became a requirement for all companies that offered e-File services. Xpress created one, if not the first, World-Wide challenge. Xpress offered a $1 million dollar bounty to anyone that could breach any of our servers, steal any data and restore the data. Over 16 years, never a dime was paid. We just completed our 5th challenge to confirm our new technologies. In 2016, Mr. Harper was asked to re-launch his unbroken breach and data protection technology, due to a myriad of new threats and trillions of dollars in lost IP, revenue, and more. NIST Cybersecurity framework is having a profound effect on all Industries. I have been assembling a team of proven experts to create a NIST CSF compliant platform.Many are expressing concerns about NIST CSF, Zero Trust and other regulations. Large Corporations in our industry do not have the required experience and they will focus on larger firms. Xpress' team is unique in both experience, vision, and proven success. Our solutions are also light weight enough to protect IOT, Cloud, and more.

Our team created CyCrypt, LLC to research new advanced cyber security products build on the success of Xpress' and other unbroken technologies. We have spent the last 4 years integrating and enhancing Xpress' framework to be fully compliant with NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 1.0 and 2.0. We have been asked to use Xpress Group, Inc. due to our history with Industry and Governmental Agencies. We will be using CyCrypt for special projects.Requires a TEAM: Our industry is made up of a few large Corporations and lots and lots of applications. The average firm has 76 Cyber protection vendors! NIST CSF has 2 key tenants. 1) ONE firm to offer you cybersecurity protection. 2) ELIMINATE as many tools as fast as possible. Why? Because these tools create as many gaps as they close.NIST has been selected by cyber and other regulators across the Globe, to collectively create more consistent and potent cyber prevention and regulations. GDPR, HIPAA, CMMC, and others are working in concert.The large Corporations are currently lacking the talent and experience to build a fully NIST CSF compliant platform. Xpress' team is unique. We have the experience and proven commercial success of the key components.Please contact us and lets build what your firm, and thousands of other firms need, together.

Black Art Designs, North America (BAD NA) was created to assist Black Art Designs, Ltd. (BAD) with sales and support in North America. BAD NA currently offers fullfilment and upgrade services for BAD clients. I met John Stubbs and he is the most talented suspension designer and tuner I have ever had to pleasure to work with.

Xpress was created to produce income tax preparation for my fathers firm, April Tax Service, Columbia, SC. Xpress was the first firm to produce form based tax preparation software on the PC. Xpress also helped pioneer the interview based tax preparation software beginning in 1986.

Harper Construction (License number 6422) was created to build homes for family and friends. A number of homes and other projects were successfully completed. I did not renew my license after 1996 due to the growth and demands of Xpress Software and the transition to Xpress Group, Inc.
