Michelle Gartner - Co-Founder:
I graduated summa cum laude from Lakeland College, Wisconsin in 2002 with a degree in accounting. I currently consult with small businesses, showing them how to make the most of their business website and online marketing efforts. I also teach web traffic building strategies and how to blog for business. Areas of interest include helping the small business owner access and tap into national and international ecommerce markets, whether it is through their own website, on eBay, or a combination of both. I believe strongly that a small business is only limited by how small they think and that with the informed use of technology a small business owner can break through their local market ceiling and into a whole new playing field. In my spare time, I run the online vintage website “One of a Kind Wisconsin LLC“, where I sell a variety of vintage items on eBay and also blog about my experiences and love for vintage items.
Jerry Gartner - Co-Founder:
I began working in the computer field in 1998. I currently sit on The IT Curriculum Advisory Panel for Milwaukee Area Technical College and I enjoy nothing more than sharing my passion for all things IT with students in the Sheboygan Area School District by participating in several events with students per year. I am also a freelance writer for the IT sector with focus on plain English IT concepts as relevant to small business, Free Software / Open Source Evangelism, licensing issues, and ethics for other IT professionals. Areas of expertise include Microsoft and Free Software / Open Source server/workstation platforms, php/MySQL web development technologies, P.C. hardware/peripherals, and a wide variety of consumer software, both proprietary and Open Source.
