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).
