Why This Job is So Much Fun

My wife teaches special needs pre-schoolers and finds she can make a huge difference in their lives from what they learn from her. I can’t say what I do has quite the same impact, but the combination of creating exciting technology and making a difference in the way the world operates gives me a sense of pride. Our customers truly value what we provide. When I compare my job to many others, I consider myself lucky.

The best indicator that a company provides value to its market is through its business success. If customers are willing to pay for what you create, it is a true endorsement for what you do. Over Snowbound’s 12+ years, we have provided value to over 1000 customers. And in most cases, it’s not pencil or paperclip value but technology that’s critical to the customer’s success. Without our product, they could have not have achieved what they needed.

And unlike some of my former companies where the technology is buried under the hood and isn’t explainable to your neighbor, the results we provide are viewable and appreciable. We literally are responsible for showing you the photograph, the mortgage papers, the insurance form or the medical record.

I welcome all our readers to submit their most interesting uses of our technology to me. We would love to highlight your innovation!
