Originally a New Englander (although most of the locals have forgiven him
for this by now), Steven Webster is co-founder of the company and acts a lot
like our Vice President of Product Development and Marketing. Steven had a
rough start in technology back in 1994 while working for an Inc 500 Company in
Portland Maine. It was trial by fire; being offered the job of IT Director for
the 150 employee company on the same day the previous IT Director quit and
walked out the door. That was the beginning of implementing an entirely new
infrastructure (converting from Macs to PCs) along with a year long, half a
million dollar, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation that
included financial software, order management software, customer relationship
management systems and a fully automated wireless Warehouse Management
Software. Fortunately he survived the experience and learned a thing or two
about a thing or two about software along the way.
Steven met Paul O'Daniel, President of our company, during this
implementation and the two struck up a professional and personal friendship that
ultimately led Steven to relocate his family to Louisville, KY. Paul conned him
into moving here with stories about how mansions could be bought for a dollar
and everyone got free lemonade on Fridays. He began working with Paul at
another company in 1998 where he figured out all of Paul's, shall we say
"idiosyncrasies". After working together for a few years, Steven and Paul
struck out on their own and founded Firstegg LLC. Steven's role has been on the
business strategy and product development and marketing side of the business
since the beginning - mostly because he won't let anyone else do it.
Steven is an avid cyclist has been married (way above his pay grade) to his
wife Suzanne for 16 years. They have three children and two dogs, one of which
is well behaved and the other is a real problem (the dogs, not the children).

Triathlete by day, online chat representative by evenings and weekends. Maria had been with MyRVAdvantage since March as a chatter covering the non-traditional business hours. Hailing from the western portion of Kentucky, her accent for better or for worse doesn’t come across through typed conversations. She is a 2007 graduate from the University of Louisville with a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and 2 minors in Art and International Business. When the opportunity to study business at a private university in Germany came along her senior year, how could it be turned down. Well, she didn’t turn it down and is now hooked on traveling. Quite possibly a future full-timing RVer in the making.
Before joining MyRVAdvantage, as a Marketing student and even after graduating, Maria completed several internships, ranging from the Federal Government (can’t talk about that one), to a Fortune 500 company and 2 non-profits. This variety of experience helped her recognize the upsides to working for a small, innovative, and tech savvy company.
