Kevin Grossnicklaus
President, ArchitectNow
About
Kevin started developing software in 1985 at the age of 10 when his new Apple IIgs booted to a command prompt and he didn't know what else to do with it. He is now the president of a St. Louis, Missouri based development firm called ArchitectNow (www.architectnow.net). At ArchitectNow, Kevin and his team specialize in a wide variety of tools and technologies while delivering applications across a variety of cloud and mobile platforms. He is an avid Telecaster player, fly fisherman, home brewer, and gamer (including everything from retro arcade games, to board games, to role playing games). When not spending time on any of those hobbies he waits patiently for a second season of Firefly.
