Before I got into adult I worked as C++ programmer at a company called Numetrix, which sold something called "Supply Chain Management" software, which is basically software to help huge manufacturers schedule their production more efficiently. The programs cost about $100,000 a pop but could save companies like Procter & Gamble millions of dollars a year so they were lining up for it.

I loved my job because I could make my own hours and pretty much do as I pleased as long as I got my work done, which I always did. I never showed up before 11am, and I took occasional afternoon naps but as I said nobody cared (or knew). But I was paying attention the whole time, and learned a lot about running a business and how to manage resources and employees.

However after doing this for over 6 years I realized that even though I loved programming computers, I would never have an interest in Supply Chain Management, which would obviously have been a requirement for advancement at a company like Numetrix. At the same time, Numetrix was bought out by a much larger corporation and started to develop a serious corporate atmosphere. My project leader was even telling me to be in the office before 10AM!

I could see the writing on the wall so I knew it was time to find a new job or start my own company. Fortunately around that time I saw a story on NBC Dateline about the couple that ran thewetlands.com.... but I will save that for answer #4.

Being a computer programmer by trade, it was natural for me to get into an Internet-based industry like ours, and I saved a lot of money by writing the original Spread4U myself... but you will have to wait for answer #5 to read more about that.

Gonna try and answer 10 per day. Got a few more hours to answer 7 more questions. And I'm not even at the "good ones" yet. Stay tuned!

I think this was one of our first promotional banners ever... I believe (if memory serves me right) Barry designed it himself

I can still remember 7 years ago while I was still at my old job, which I was slowly starting to hate, so I started looking for an idea for a company to start. Hazel & I were not married yet but she was also hating her job so we figured we'd start something together.

It was 1999 and Internet porn was still a hot topic and Dateline NBC was doing a story about the couple that ran thewetlands.com, a naked housewife site. I liked the idea of running my own porn site but I figured Hazel would never go for it. Amazingly she agreed instead of slapping my face.

Of course my first idea was to launch another naked housewife site (featuring OTHER men's wives) because I just saw the story about Wetlands. After a little research I figured that leased feeds would be a better idea so we began to research that segment. That research led to the idea of doing live feeds, at which point I realized that people would probably pay a lot for 1-on-1 feeds, since 1-on-1 phone sex was so immensely popular, plus almost nobody was doing pay-per-view live webcams at the time. And so Spread4U was born.

I heard that Jon from The Wetlands passed away last year, so I suppose I will never have a chance to thank him for setting me down this path. I'm sure most program owners have a story like mine: they saw someone else making a lot of money on the Internet and decided they wanted the same thing.

LOL! It's true that I designed some of the early banners myself but you can tell this one was done by a professional. I did, however, choose the picture!

To set the record straight I did write ALL of the first version of SpreadU. We didn't hire a programmer until 2002, and we are in the process of hiring a CTO.

Let's just say that building a webcam site isn't cheap, especially back in 1999 when there was almost no such thing, so being a computer programmer really helped. I saved a lot of money by writing it myself.

I wish I could still write all the software myself because programming computers was my first love and I still enjoy dabbling from time to time.

We are about to get into the "good" questions. More answers coming up...

Something is wrong if you don't know what Derek and Gunner do!

Gunner is our Director of Affiliate Relations, which means he is in charge of all things affiliate-related. Derek is my #1 salesman (and not just because he's my only salesman).

Together, they are responsible for keeping affiliates happy, AT ALL COSTS. But that doesn't make them gay! Derek is not a twink no matter what you've heard, and as for Gunner why don't you ask him to his face next time you meet him?

I shaked Barry's hand at lsawards so now I can say he's a standup guy

It was nice meeting you and all the folks there,
too bad we haven't spent more time, so many people so little time.
Maybe next time.

How was that tranny bar anyway ?

We like to do the occassional company outing so last year we went to Medieval Times. I wanted to buy that sword cause it makes me look like a badass but unfortunately I can't be trusted with sharp objects. Still, we had a great time even though our knight lost.

I will post more pics of me in my cool paper crown.
