"I've known the folks at OneStopDevShop for just shy of a decade. Geordie is one of the most focused and professional people I've worked with when he sets his mind on achieving a goal. They were instrumental in coming in and saving a software project I started that was costing me tens of thousands of dollars per month. They immediately rescued the project, got the team aligned towards an end goal that was going to help our customers and ultimately did it in a very short time frame, saving me a lot of time, money and effort."
Since you’re probably landing on this page for the first time, I’ll give you a quick rundown on what I’ve been working on over the past 15 years or so that I’ve been an entrepreneur.
I used to jump out of airplanes to put out forest fires in the Western US, Canada, and Alaska. I fought fires for 8 years, until I made it to the top of the firefighting world, and realized I couldn’t make it any higher.
So, I moved on.
Then I taught myself how to program, speak Spanish fluently and I’m working on French and Italian now.
I started my first company in 2003, and sold it 3 years later for multiple 6 figures. We sold Bermuda shorts to actor Michael Douglas and personal fav of mine marketing guru Seth Godin, amongst thousands of other happy customers. I still wear the shorts today, love them.
Yes, that is the legendary actor Mike Douglas playing golf in Bermuda, my home island.
I started my next technology based company in 2006, where I helped raise $3M in seed money. We hit $1M in sales within the first year. Have since sold this company.
I started my 3rd company in 2011, an E-commerce company that sold organic sea salt direct to consumers. I started this with a partner and a few thousand dollars. Within the first week of sales we had pre-sold $90,000 in sales, without having a grain of salt in our US distribution warehouse. I sold this company in 2015 after I 200x’d my original investment.
I became a social entrepreneur by opening an eco-friendly Amazon E-commerce company selling biodegradable products, and educating our tens of thousands of Facebook fans about the dangers of plastic pollution while contributing to causes I care about. Oh, and I wrote a book about How To Quit Plastic too.
Sometime in between various projects, I started my own SaaS company in about 2013 providing online reputation services for boutique hotels, spas, salons & Amazon customers (because I was one myself, and I needed reviews).
"Our team has been planning for an MVP for the last year. While searching job boards, Linkedin, angel's list for possible teams to work with we came across Geordie and OneStop DevShop. After briefing Geordie, he understood the core of our vision, talked us through building our first clickable prototype, so that we can have something cost-effective, but also concrete to show our investors. This helped us during our initial raise while keeping our expenses down. Once we raised our initial funds, Geordie introduced us to his offshore remote team. Having had some bad experiences in using offshore teams before, we were a little leary about communications problems, but due to OneStop's priority on effective communications, this was never a problem. We were able to launch a sophisticated web and mobile MVP using Microsoft .net stack, react native and azure cloud service. All on-time and on-budget. Their team bent over backwards to make sure they were always on time with their weekly deliverables, while also providing helpful technology suggestions. It was hugely important for our team that we selected a partner that we could both easily resolve potential miscommunications, while taking an active interest in our project; always asking thoughtful and intelligent questions & making suggestions. I plan to work with them more in the future and can't recommend them highly enough. "

To say I’m a self-starter would be accurate.
To say I’m passionate about what I do would be an understatement.
To question whether I can help you should be self-evident.
I help people make world-changing applications, and I love what I do. My only question is, will you be one of them?
You know what to do, and why you should do it.
