Tim Stay’s Summary
My favorite involvement is my opportunity to serve on the board of Unitus, a non-profit targeting poverty alleviation (see http://unitus-microcredit.blogspot.com/ for things related to Unitus). I was one of the co-founders of Unitus. I also serve on the Foundation Board at UVU, on the board to Center for Economic Self Reliance at BYU, serve as chair of the Lakeridge Junior High School Community Council, as well as a Bishop of a local Orem congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
In 1992, I founded Marketing Ally, an inbound and outbound call center and grew it to 3 centers with over 1200 employees. Marketing Ally was one of the Top 50 largest call centers in the US. I sold it in 2003.
In 1994, I started NorthSky, Inc., which developed the FreeServers.com free website hosting property. In 1999, FreeServers.com became one of the top 50 Media Metrix properties for traffic and was purchased by About.com.
In 2000, I started Bizcradle, a small business incubator, working with Hal Halladay, Ken Sorber, and Glen Mella as partners. Soon after, EsNet Partners became a partner in BizCradle. Bizcradle helped start SenForce, HumanLink, and MeuGrupo - Brazil. SenForce was recently purchased by Novell. I also helped found Global Servers – Brazil.
In 2004, Rich Christiansen and I started Tornado Solutions, an online niche-content publisher.
In 2005, Hal Halladay and I launched Know More Media and I am serving as Chief Innovation Officer. Know More Media, is an online publisher of business news, tips and information. Unlike traditional media, KMM publishes continually - as business happens.
In 2006, I accepted the invitation from a friend, Dillon Inouye, and became the President and CEO of Perfect Search Corporation. Perfect Search was founded by Dillon Inouye and Ron Millett. The company is a software development company that creates innovative and revolutionary search technology.
