Ben started his journey into IT by getting a temporary job answering phones in a tech support department for a telecoms company and within 6 months had been offered a permanent position and was running the team with 165 wonderful and dedicated agents under his command.
After 4 years of running the department, the company decided to move the operation to the UK in order to cut costs and sent Ben to oversee the transfer and so it came to pass that the young man who started his career answering phones was now responsible for a contact center of 2200 staff.
Once the transfer was complete Ben decided that it was time to move on to new things as his beloved tech support team was no more and so when he was approached by a major broadcasting company to run their tech support team and oversee the roll out of their video on demand web offering, he jumped at the chance.
By this time, the love of tech and all things geek had truly taken hold of Ben and he really wanted to get his hands dirty so he took a leap of faith with a small start-up company and began installing voice over IP telephone systems for a network engineering company back when voice over IP was something akin to witchcraft.
Whilst the networking company did not survive the recession, it ignited Ben's passion to get more to grips with technology. His focus became networking, programming, and the web and so he went back to school gaining a Higher National Diploma in Computing & Software Engineering followed by a degree in Computer Science & Software Engineering from the University of Ulster.
Whilst on work placement for his degree Ben discovered web development as a viable path to the laptop lifestyle that many of us dream of. Ben spent 4 wonderful years with the same company that took him on as an intern eventually becoming a part owner of the business.

Isaac Simon founded Austin Web and Design, a website design firm, in 2009 to provide medium and small businesses affordable web design services. Prior to that he worked in marketing at various Austin businesses and associations for eight years.
A Longhorn, Isaac moved to Austin from California in 1996 in order to annoy the locals and get an Advertising degree from UT. He graduated with honors in 5 short years and picked up a Radio Television Film along the way. Ask him and he'll be sure to point out that he graduated with honors, though, if his wife Brenda is nearby, she'll take credit for providing an atmosphere conducive to success.
The founder of Austin Web and Design, Isaac, was once Director of Marketing at an Austin law firm, where, like any business, it was important that the website convey competence and success. When it came time to redesign their website though, all the local web design companies were either too expensive or weren't offering much in the way of website design. Sound familiar?
