President
Edward Stevens has an educational background at the graduate level, concentrated in Economic Statistics. Couple this foundation with a business background centered in the technology industry since the late 1980’s, and you have the experience and knowledge that is necessary to critically evaluate businesses and subsequently guide their sales and lead generation programs to SEO (Search Engine Marketing) success.

Mr. Stevens began his business career after graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington, in the mid seventies, with a Series 7 License working for Bache & Co. This is the time when talk of the DJII breaking 1,000 was something that represented a level of wishful thinking, and there were intra-day trades at levels less than 600. After completing graduate studies at the University of North Texas with concentrations in economic statistics and forecasting, Mr. Stevens began his financial career with the well respected, The Arizona Bank, in Tucson, AZ. His commercial lending career commenced with The Union Bank of Arizona and continued with The Bank of the Southwest in East Texas and The First National Bank of St. Tammany Parish in the greater New Orleans area. This commercial lending undertaking led to working with businesses and professionals ranging from small sole proprietorships to large exchange listed corporations, in diverse regional economies, learning the challenges business owners accept everyday.

With the collapse of the banking industry in Texas and the surrounding states during the mid 1980’s, Mr. Stevens began his second major career in the technology industry. During this period he completed detailed industry training with Microsoft, Novell, Sun, Nortel, Citrix and other major suppliers. The evolution of the Internet was a perfect fit for Mr. Stevens. It led to his forming Acclerated Innovations, Inc., a company dedicated towards helping businesses earn “quality profits over time” using the Internet as a marketing tool.

As a result of having an extensive background in finance and technology, Mr.Stevens successfully engaged in technology based merger and acquisition activities. He successfully identified, analyzed, negotiated and structured 5 separate acquisitions during a two-year period, all technology centered.

Mr. Stevens is a Vietnam Era veteran having served honorably with the US Army during 1970-71.
