We care about what we build and who we build it for. It’s as simple as that.

For as long as I can remember I have been an engineer at heart always wanting to dive into how things work, constantly learning something new, and writing great code - combine that with some natural leadership and a passion for mentoring and I have been able to bring all of that together at Infoplus. Outside of the office and away from tech I enjoy being a father of four, football and hockey (Let's go Blues!), a good IPA, and spending time with family and friends.
I started with the team behind Infoplus as just an intern back in May of 2010
My whole life, I’ve defined myself as a programmer. I simply love software. I love to build it. I love to use it (when it’s great). I love to read about it, look at it, learn it, and dream it. Other than that? I’m a family man, with so many dogs - and I love some Cardinals baseball, Apple products, and of course, all things Star Trek!
4. Always 4. Because apparently, our county has an ordinance that says you're not allowed to have more than 4, else, we might have more than 4.
Star Trek. Star Trek The Next Generation. Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Star Trek Voyager. Star Trek Enterprise. Star Trek Discovery. Star Trek Picard. Star Trek Lower Decks. Although, I did finally give in a watch The Mandalorian... This is the way.

I'm a husband and father of 3 active kids (2 boys and a girl). When I'm not coaching baseball or running the "shuttle service", I'm enjoying the outdoors. We hike, fish, hunt, run, and travel a lot. But, most days I'm grilling pool-side with my wife Kristen and the kids.
I have come to realize that owning a minivan with 3 kids is a must. So, we have 2!

Love the outdoors, bass fishing and clay shooting. If I'm not outside, you'll probably find me in the gym, or on the mats doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In my downtime I love spending time with my wife, video games, movies (particularly horror), MMA fights, and rooting on the Cardinals and Blues.
Dumb and Dumber
I'm a loud introvert, a video game geek, and my lifeblood is comprised of music and anything with curry. I value creativity above all other things in life but I also love communication: understanding how we interpret things, how best to deliver information, how culture and technology play a role in constantly changing the way we communicate. Also, people are cool but animals are way cooler, and Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films are the greatest movies ever made and I'm not willing to budge even a little bit on that.
I can't survive without music. I like everything but Spotify statistics over the last few years would suggest my favorite artists are Nine Inch Nails, PassCode, Dragonforce, Jimmy Rosenberg, and Benny Goodman. I also play guitar and write for two bands - Ex Hibernis (metal) and Clovis Point (pop-punk metal) and I have my own solo stuff under the name Jackson Frazier as well, all on major streaming platforms.
I'm an avid gamer with a special I'm an avid gamer with a rabid enthusiasm for games made by Hidetaka Miyazaki, such as Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Sekiro. I even have symbols from the game Demon's Souls tattooed on my right arm and my collection of the different editions of these games is embarrassingly large (but I'm also absurdly proud of it).

I am #10 of 11 kids in my immediate family.
I was born and raised in a small town in central Illinois and currently reside in St. Louis with my pup, Sosa. I am often referred to as a "Concrete Cowboy" or "Urban Redneck" due to my country upbringing, current living situation and my love for all things technology. I have a degree in CMIS and snagged a job with a 3PL warehousing company directly out of college where I gained the experience and warehousing know-how that I have carried over to Infoplus. I started here at IP when we had two customers and have had a hand in most implementations. I'm not a bragger but I might just be the worlds most premier Infoplus user ;)
I'm an Illini athletics aficionado. Prior to this year my dad and brothers have not missed a home tailgating opportunity.
I am the youngest of 6 and have 18 nieces and nephews (and counting)
Software excites me! I love learning the ins and outs of every software I come in contact with. Tailoring to customer-specific needs, troubleshooting issues, and solving real-life problems with software specifically. From a young age, I would be called to my great-grandma's house to help her do things on her home pc, that might or might not have been done on purpose to get me to come over :)
To get as close as possible to being self-sustaining for necessities.
I have an obsession with sneakers; collecting, selling, window shopping, etc.

I was born and raised in Chicago and recently moved to Nashville. My golden retriever, Murphy, 100% approves of the decision. I'm a fairly simple person who travels as often as possible. For some reason, as a natural introvert, I really enjoy putting myself out there and experiencing different cultures, people, and appreciating what the world has to offer. A lot of the travel I do is at random with minimal preparation which has to lead to some very interesting stories and amazing experiences. Outside of traveling I really enjoy spending time with family and friends. I live for the moments that I used to take for granted as a kid and make sure to appreciate the small things. One of my big goals for this year is to be more involved with helping others through charity and volunteering. I want to get better at giving back and making an impact, however small, to those who need it most.
Rock climbed a 100 ft. cliff on the coast of Northern Ireland never having rock climbed outdoors before. I had to learn 2 minutes before the climb, from a complete stranger, how to secure a proper knot to tie into the harness. I still question the validity of that knot.

Born in Egypt and living in St. Louis since 1982. I have a unique perspective of both cultures, and I have embraced both as a huge part of my identity. At one point I told my son that I was a 7042-year-old alien, who came here to teach the Egyptians how to be spooky and mysterious, and build the pyramids and stuff. HA
I have a wonderful family with four kids and is my joy to be around them and our adventures.
I am currently a Project Manager here at Infoplus Commerce. I recently graduated with my MBA at Southeast Missouri State University. I am currently living in the Greater St. Louis area. I enjoy traveling, family time, and relaxing with friends.
I recently got married last June.
I am an avid St. Louis sports fan. This includes the Cardinals, the Blues, and the Battlehawks.

I've been a software engineer and have worked with Darin and James for over 20 years. My current role is as a co-founder and senior software developer at Infoplus. Every day working at Infoplus brings exciting new challenges and our team is devoted to creating software that people love to use.

Hedge Fund Accountant turned WMS Project Manager because I love working with people too much to do just do accounting. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and my big dream is to see the world! I lived in Dublin, Ireland for a year which was an incredible experience. I am a dog mom to a beautiful, goofy Golden Retriever named Murphy who keeps me active and young at heart. After living in Chicago for most of my life, I finally decided to make the move to Nashville, Tennessee to escape the cold and experience the beauty of the south. I plan to make the most of every day, every breath, every moment, and accept all that life has to offer with open arms!
I have traveled to Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Thailand, & Vietnam within the past 3 years!
I have a twin sister!
