I am passionate about building an entrepreneurial community in Kentucky. I have started and invested in several companies (mostly software companies). Currently, I serve as CEO of APAX Software & CEO of Awesome Inc. My companies develop software, teach other people to develop software, and provide others with resources to launch and grow companies of their own. I am married to an amazing woman and have five children...well, 4 children and 1 grandchild. I actually managed to become a dad and a granddad all in the same day. Pretty epic story. hint: adoption. Additionally, I coach high school soccer at Lafayette HS. I enjoy any sort of adventure that makes me feel alive and forces me (and those around me) to face our fears...things like rappelling off baseball stadiums, climbing mountains, and exploring caves all qualify. A few projects that I work on:
