Chicagoan Jimmy Dewar worked as a manager at the famed Hostess Brands factory. During that time, Dewar wanted to create a pastry that was filled with cream. His invention, the Twinkie, launched in 1930 and was named after an ad for "Twinkle Toe Shoes" that Dewar came across. The original Twinkie was filled with banana cream but was replaced with vanilla cream during WWII when bananas became scarce.
Dave is responsible for all facets of the business. He especially enjoys assisting with the tech side of the company, including setting up the scripting for new accounts.
Our Founder, Dave Kimble, started AnswerAide because of a need he had with another business that he owned. His landscaping company was growing, and he was not able to keep up with the calls that were coming in. Therefore, he decided to outsource the calls to an answering service. The first one he tried was horrible; then he tried one or two more. He finally found somewhat of a decent one; however, every time a new call came in, the operator would ask for the city when they were getting the address, and either they would either pronounce it wrong or spell it to them incorrectly. While our city name may not be easy to say, it was part of the company's name, so the spelling shouldn't have been an issue.
