Leading an incredibly innovative eCommerce company that acts like a POS. The underpinnings of the company and product which are now in place will enable continued growth and extension into new verticals beyond the initial focus on hospitality. The company was founded to focus on payments and has since expanded into the areas of catalogs, commerce, and fulfillment.

Founded in 2002 as the CTO along with 3 others as a bootstrapped venture trying to sell managed websites using my previously built CMS to midsize companies. In 2004, I became CEO. In 2006, Siteworx' largest client, AOL stopped all outsourcing. We had to rebuild and diversify to new clients. We explicitly focused our efforts away from DC on national brands and became known as a highly skilled boutique focused on high performance managed websites and eCommerce implementing many of the market leading marketing technologies. We grew to almost 200 people in 5 offices.In 2012, Siteworx sold the majority position to private equity group Riordan, Lewis, Haden.In 2013, Siteworx won the ACG National Capital Corporate Growth Award for $25-75MM business.Some notable clients during my tenure included: PayPal, Chase, GE, Goldman Sachs, AOL, MTV/Viacom, NetApp, Symantec, Bain & Co, KPMG, DoD IC.

Cofounded Caboose Brewing which grew into 2 high volume restaurant / brewery locations in Northern Virginia. Innovated and automated the brewing process to maintain consistently high quality beer with lower capital and operational costs. Caboose Tavern (the first one) is a high quality locally-sourced table service restaurant whereas Caboose Commons is a high volume, fast casual counter service restaurant with a massive patio.

Developed Axiom Content Management System (CMS) which became the core technology for Siteworx for 5+ years after acquisition. Assets were sold to Siteworx which I cofounded.

Started as the 6th employee, and quickly was hiring and managing all of the technical staff (33 staff by 2001). Consulted on many different types of projects, but the largest client which drove most of the growth was a high volume email / eCommerce company called Shop2u. I personally architected and developed (later with help) the system for them that allowed horizontal scaling of personalized catalog creation & email delivery (2M / server / day) as well as the custom eCommerce system for ordering. Their clients included Sears, Gevalia Coffee, Omaha Steaks, and other catalog companies.
