About Lance Cleveland

I started my high-tech career in the early 80's as a computer technician. I became a lead engineer at a Boston area database company a few years later. When the Internet was just starting to show up on people's radar I quit my corner-office job and founded ProActive Web Marketing, my first start up company. That was the genesis of several successful start up companies including Time Magazine award winner The Lobster Net. After brief retirement in my mid-30s I co-founded the software consulting firm, Cyber Sprocket Labs. In addition to being "man of all hats" at Charleston Software Associates, I currently serve on the board or as technical adviser for several companies including Musiplicity, Model Locate, and Advanced Media Ltd. In the past I consulted for Data General, Kimberly Clark, Kraft, Philip Morris, Rich Foods, Telefonica, Aribtron, and a half-dozen other Fortune 500 companies. I've appeared as a keynote speaker for the USVI Economic Development Summit, showed up as a lead interviewee for Microsoft infomercials, and have been a cited performance advertising, Internet retail, and cybercrime expert in The Wall Street Journal and New York Times. I currently spend most of my time hanging with friends & family while hacking WordPress plugins. ### Code geek. Dad. Husband. Rum Lover. Not necessarily in that order.
