Rick Stephens, principal advisor and owner of RG Stephens & Associates has been in the Information Technology environment since the very beginning of the concept. In 1969, Rick took his first job as a data center computer operator for a leading edge bank in Cincinnati , Ohio working on one of the first IBM Disk Storage Based computers, the 360/30.

In 1970, Rick enlisted and was a Vietnam era Veteran serving his country until 1974. During his tour in the military service, Rick was assigned to the top secret weather intelligence gathering and reporting site in Washington D.C. Here, Rick again worked on IBM Computers both as an operator and later as a programmer. It was at this time that Rick was first introduced to the ARPA Network (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) via a DEC PDP/11 mini computer. This network would later evolve into what we know today as the Internet.

Rick's compassion for computer technology continued throughout his business career where he became a recognized expert in the field of relational database systems working closely with industry leaders such as Chris Date and Ted Codd, the co-founders of the technology we identify today as SQL.

Rick has many years of experience in web design and functional concepts and currently offers design and hosting services to a diverse group of businesses. He also maintains several of his own web sites, not only as a hobby but as a means to stay abreast of current trends and technology.

"I can't believe how quickly you put this site together.  I am already getting booked as a result of having my new site up and running. My clients have commented on how easy it was for them to provide me with the information to give them a great show.  Thanks."

"What a charming site you put together for me.  I especially like the way you added the SQL Database to help display the images and data from the Stoney Point Cemetery.   What people can't see is the Administrative functions you included to allow me to add, delete, and update new data as I get it.   Wonderful Job."

"I didn't realize how much fun it would be to own my own web store - and you made it happen.  When I started getting mony from my new web site I thought it was a dream.  You did it all, and at a very affordable price! Thanks Rick."
