Chris has been in tech for more than 20 years. After graduating from the University of Arizona, he was promoted 10 times in 11 years during the First Golden Age of Dell Computer. He ran North America for webMethods during a time of explosive internet growth. He co-founded Kieden (which sold to Salesforce.com in 2006). He's part owner of Mascot Books.

He moved to Charlotte in 2007 to serve as CEO for PokerTek (nasdaq: ptek). Once here, he co-founded CRTEC which serves as a hub for Charlotte's growing technology community. Sarah and Chris have three great kids, who go to an amazing school.

Chris has been featured in Fortune Magazine, interviewed on CNBC and coached championship Little League teams.

At OtherScreen, he creates a lot of content, runs business development and the back office, QA's the product and is an investor in the company. More than anything, he listens carefully when other people on the team talk. They know their stuff.

Startups need pragmatic, intelligent people who are resourceful and fearless. Meet Garth. Most people know about Garth's work at Jigsaw. At Jigsaw, he was a co-founder, helped build the company’s database to over 22 Million business contacts and 4 Million company records while managing their community of over 1.5M content generating members from day one through the company’s recent sale to Salesforce.com (for $142M) in April of 2010.

Prior to Salesforce and Jigsaw, he had a successful career selling enterprise software at Open Environment Corporation, Talarian Corporation, Cambridge Technology Partners, Personify, Sawyer Media and Digital Impact.

He’s a Vermonter, a graduate of Brown and a passionate Red Sox / Patriots / Celtics fan. Garth, his wife and two kids moved to Charlotte in 2009 and he’s been an impact player in our local technology community, serving on multiple panels and advisory boards.

At OtherScreen, he’s responsible for our community, helps set product direction, sells what we’ve got and is an investor in the company to boot.

Start with Jim the organizer. He runs both the Charlotte Ruby and Linux Meetup Groups, is a member of Business Innovation and Growth (BIG), has spoken at Ignite! Charlotte and leads innumerable local tech training events. People in CLT know and respect Jim.

Technically, Jim’s about as accomplished as they come. In addition to HTML, PHP, Java and Linux, he’s an experienced Ruby on Rails developer and architect. Professionally, he founded Mocksup and itsbspoke and has led development projects for IdeaWeavers, ALTERThought, Canal Street Partners and TradeKing.

He grew up in Tennessee, graduated from Rice and is married to Megan. The Van Fleets just welcomed their first child earlier this year.

Mike graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Journalism. After graduation he worked for the Athens Banner-Herald in Athens, Ga. as a news reporter. He left the writing world for a few years when he moved to Charlotte and worked for a local Non-profit as a Teen and Camp Director.

Eventually, Mike began a freelance writing career and started his own video production company in Charlotte. During this time, Mike wrote for the travel website HelloCharlotte and spent much of his time dining at some of the best restaurants in the region, and visiting the coolest attractions in the area. Mike also wrote for comedy and music websites before joining the OtherScreen team. He is the co-founder of CampLeadership.org — a resource sharing website for professionals in the summer camp industry — and is a highly sought-after camp staff trainer.

Mike has been married to his lovely wife Molly for five years, and they do not watch the CBS sitcom Mike and Molly — so don’t bother asking. They are currently expecting a daughter and are very excited to be first-time parents.

Mike is the Content and Community Manager at OtherScreen, which is a fancy way of saying, “He gets people to find the website.”
