About Me

Everett | From Enterprise Software to Small Business Growth

Everett began his career designing custom software solutions for large Rotary Clubs across the U.S., streamlining operations like member management, accounting, and communications. His early success in automating manual processes sparked a broader mission: solving complex business problems through smart automation.

He went on to develop software in the mortgage industry for one of the nation’s largest credit unions and later applied his skills at a major airline, customizing PeopleSoft ERP systems in the HR department. During the Y2K era, Everett returned to his entrepreneurial roots as a consultant, helping corporations modernize their legacy systems to meet compliance requirements.

Post-Y2K, Everett joined a large internet startup supporting the newspaper industry’s transition to online classified listings. There, he built sophisticated interfaces between websites, banks, and financial systems to automate invoicing and reporting.

Today, Everett combines decades of enterprise software experience with his passion for small business growth. As part of the Umbrella Local network, he helps businesses reduce costs, increase productivity, and drive profits through smarter marketing and customer relationship management strategies.
