Meet Ross
Ross Lasley was interested in technology as a young child
and got his hardware certifications at the age of 12. A serial
entrepreneur, Ross was involved with a multitude of businesses
before founding the web development company KISS Computing with his wife Amy in 1997.
Started from a home office, this company grew to
be the area's number one website firm garnering a SCORE "Build
a Better Mousetrap" Award, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts "Governor's Entrepreneurial
Spirit" Award, and a Webby Award in
the process.
Ross regularly gave a variety of speeches
and seminars - speaking to chambers, accommodations associations,
and Umass's E-Commerce Network to name just a few. He was a
member of Mitt Romney's Regional Competitiveness Council and
served as the co-chair of the creative economy group.
In 2006 - in typical successful technology
company fashion - the firm was sold to Michael McGrath, an employee who continues
to run KISS with gusto. At the same time Ross and Amy moved
out to the rural country to start an exotic animal business - Spruce
Nubble Farm - where they breed and sell animals online.
In 2007 Ross heard his inner geek calling and could no longer
ignore it - The Internet Educator was born.

Memberships

I'm a member of MENSA, you can learn more about them by clicking the logo above. There are lots of neat things I enjoy about this high IQ organization but the thing I like most about them is probably the three purposes of the organization:
- To identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
- To encourage research into the nature, characteristics and uses of intelligence.
- To provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members.
 
The HTML Writers Guild is an old favorite, I've been a member of this organization for a long time. Recently (a goodly number of years ago but recently to my mind) the HWG merged with the International Webmasters Association. I still display the old school logo above because it is the one that I like, but it no longer indicates that you are a dues paying member, that's what the one on the right does. I will always have fond memories of the old logo and display it with pride.
Feedback
"You are bang on target with your take on entrepreneurs and how they view the web."

“I was introduced to Ross many years ago by a mutual friend of ours who said "you really need to meet this guy". After our first conversation I understood why. I was involved in running an online media operation and he was the owner of a very successful Web design firm. Over the years I have consulted with him on various projects when I felt the need for another point of view or some expert advice. Ross has an incredibly comprehensive amount of knowledge about Internet in his head and anybody who has taken his advice can attest to the value that he brings to the table. First with his Web design firm - KISS Computing - and now with his new consulting practice - The Internet Educator - Ross has consistently impressed those who interact with him. If you are looking for an online business consultant I strongly recommend contacting Ross to learn more about the services that he offers.”
