Founded by Gene Hammond
Gene has been working in Software development since 1985.
Armed with a BS Degree in mathematics and about 20 years
in the woodworking industry, Gene was fortunate to be working
for a company that allowed him to take on the task of computerizing
a large cabinet shop. Starting with AutoCad™ Release
1.1, Gene began the task of computerizing drawings for cabinet
layout and exporting data from the CAD files to a database.
Once in a database, creating cutting lists was a matter of
gathering data and presenting it in a usable fashion.
It was like "finding my nitch...", says Gene. "I
was able to combine by experience in woodworking with my education
in mathematics." Computing and database development soon
became a full time effort for Gene.
