I was recruited by LawCommerce for the newly created CTO position in October of 2000 following a successful tenure as Vice President of Technology at Visual Fire.

Visual Fire was a Miami-based technology company. In addition to product development efforts surrounding proprietary technology, the company had a substantial consulting practice producing Internet, DVD, Kiosk and CD-ROM based convergent media products and solutions. I was there from day one as part of a core group of 5 technology and business development managers and helped grow the company to around 70 staff at its largest point. I held several positions at Visual Fire including Vice President of Technology. I was responsible for a number of initiatives including creation of a large startup consulting practice and led engagements with established companies including Terra Networks/ Lycos, Disney, Sony, Universo Online, Catalina Lighting and many others. I also developed Visual Fire’s project and consulting methodologies and trained project managers and business development staff.

Prior to Visual Fire, I served as the Project Manager of the Advanced Integration Services unit of The Waldec Group, a successful Value-Added-Reseller and Systems Integrator. While there, the company was purchased by IKON Technology Services and I stayed through the transition. I directed pre-sales engineering and implementation of Internet, LAN/WAN, email, security and software and network engineering in South Florida. Clients included Visa International, Citrix, Quaker Oats, Zenith Goldline, IVAX, IBM SE Credit Union, Triarc Restaurant Group (parent company of Arby's), Bank Rate Monitor/ Intelligent Life Corporation, Paxson Communications, Florida Sugar Corp., Bank United FSB and a number of Am Law 100 law firms.
