I began Thunderduck officially in 2000. It began as a web development and web marketing company. In 2005, one of my clients, the Army asked us to help them be able to market to college students for their Officer recruiting programs. In the development of that marketing plan, our company got its first taste of social media as we quickly came to realize that Facebook was where the Army needed to be for recruiting. From that point our business focus began to turn to include more and more social media efforts. Then in 2010, one of our social media partners needed a coupon solution that could work in Facebook. In the effort to build that solution, the Qples coupon platform was built- changing the industry! Since then we have re-branded Thunderduck to become Qples so that we can have a stronger brand as we grow both in the US and globally. I now perform the CTO function in our Qples entity.

Developed strategies to implement architectural signage created by the sales team. I also was responsible coordinating, managing and deploying installation teams and strategies.
