Kurt's Story

Life Classmates bites. TO CONTACT ME, Google "Kurt Willmon" or use MySpace, FaceBook, Namyz, Ziggs or LinkedIn. Anyway, here's my "Readers's Digest condensed version" of my bio: After H.S. I started a couple businesses and took electronics at American River College then wandered around the country working construction at power plants, refineries and mines for Brown & Root. Then I moved back to CA and started a furniture manufacturing company and got my general contractors license. Eventually I got my electronics degree and a computer science degree and ended up doing ecommerce web design for TASQ Technology in Rocklin. After they got bought out by First Data Corp they decided not to have an Internet dept. anymore so I took over the remnants as my own company called InternetWebBuilders.Com, a fast growing ecommerce company with clients around the world ranging from small "mom and pop" shops to high profile ones like Merle Haggard and Volvo Penta. These days I spend most of my time working out of the house in the major metropolis of Sheridan, CA, the office in Orangevale, CA or traveling for business. I don't play much guitar anymore (or anything else I used to do way back then) but I try to SCUBA dive when I can and, I'd like to get back in to martial arts again. I've been working on my pilot's license and hope get it soon. School You've got to be kidding. High School? Swimming team was fun and coach Dufor was great, academics were merely tolerated so, I'm not sure how I got on the honor roll. College Spent many years doing night classes at different colleges, American River in Sacramento, Sierra College in Rocklin and Northern Pioneer College in AZ. Finally returned full-time to Sierra College in the late 90's and got a couple of technical degrees (Computer Science and Computer Integrated Electronics). Worked my butt off, got a super G.P.A. and was on the Dean's list each semester. Workplace Need to get ahold of me? Just search for "Kurt Willmon" (with quotes to narrow it down) on Google.Com search engine. (I own InternetWebBuilders.Com). Hmmm... My first job out of H.S. was as a janitor at Beverly Manor Sanitorium (where Richard Chase was) but that only lasted a couple of weeks because I totalled my motorcycle on Sunrise Blvd and broke my leg. Worked for a couple of landscaping companies and a nursery then started my own landscaping company for a year or so doing local jobs then went to work for Yancey Company in Sacramento as an electronics technician where I patented the Alert Lite. After that I worked for Premium Auto Electric in Citrus Heights for abysmally low wages until my brother got me a job doing construction on a gold mine near Elko, NV for Kellog -Brown & Root, Inc. at $1,000/wk (not bad in the early 80's). My girlfriend (and now wife) and I traveled around the country wit...Expand for more
h them building a trona mine/soda ash plant in Rock Springs, WY, a power plant in Springerville, AZ, refineries in McKittrick CA and Watts CA (near Long Beach) until 1984 when I saved enough money to start a furniture manufacturing company. So I moved back to Sacramento and did that for several years making office & computer furniture and store fixtures. I also got my General Contractor's license and Cabinet license so I could do cabinetry. In 1991 I finally got tired of the type of employees I had to hire and went to work for cabinet company in Roseville, Pedersen Woodcrafts, where spent several years just floating until I could figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. Crestmoor Floors/Floors Factory Outlet hired me away from them to be a commercial flooring estimator for construction bidding jobs anywhere from $2,000 to $1,200,000. I also started doing websites during this time; Symbiotics, which was company started for selling "green" products and a site for animator David Feiss (Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel etc.) After the flooring company laid me off in 1997 I took a couple years off to finish getting a couple of degrees (Computer Science and Computer Integrated Electronics) In 1999 I went to work for the ecommerce department of TASQ Technology in Rocklin, CA but they were taken over by First Data Corp who decided TASQ didn't need an ecommerce deparment anymore so in 2002 I started a new company by taking over what was left of their clients so basically I just took lemons and made lemonade. So, I am finally doing what I want as the owner of InternetWebBuilders.Com since Jan. '02 and MyFlashHost.Com since Jan. '04. Business clients around the world (U.K., Canada, Panama, Guam etc.)and locally include SacramentSpotlight.Com and MerleHaggard.Com. I get to travel a lot, which I love to do, visiting clients and doing sales. Recent trips (that I can remember, anyway) included San Diego CA, Whitefish MT, Tampa FL, Las Vegas NV, Maui HI, Show Low AZ, Princeton NJ, Greenwhich CT, NY, PA and a sales meeting on a Carribean cruise to Cozumel. I was interviewed on 1380 AM Sacramento a couple of times for my business in Aug, '04 and have another interview scheduled in Jan '05 and have TV appearances coming up on channels 10 and 31 in Sacramento too. MY LATEST VENTURE: My company launched a new service in Jan '08 called MerchantWatchdogs.com that saves companies money on their transaction processing (credit & debit cards, electronic check processing and instant bank account debits) in exchange for a portion of their savings. Merchants have no out of pocket expense whatsoever. Its main advantages are that merchants get to keep their same processor AND, we donate part of our portion of their savings to charity AND we concentrate on hiring displaced workers, the disabled and students. Everybody wins!
