Steve S. Saroff- Somewhat of a resume

I started programming computers as a kid when it was about as financially rewarding as knowing how to fix lawnmowers. I started coding because I loved it. I have used over 30 different computer languages to make money. I also have been paid for designing and building digital electronics, working in chemistry labs, writing fiction, performing music, photography for books and magazines, and teaching.

Before I began starting my own companies I had many jobs, both unskilled and highly skilled. Laborer. Carpenter. Ranch Hand. Oil-field worker. Elementary school Science Teacher at Sussex School in Missoula. Engineer in the Oceanography dept of Oregon State University, where I wrote software and invented and built electronic devices. Systems Analyst and Software Engineer at St. Pat's Hospital in Missoula, where I wrote much of the software used by a large hospital for more than a decade. I also worked as a Consultant for about 20 start-ups.

Two of my own companies, both of which I co-founded, I successfully pitched and sold to public corporations. RemoteScan which had over 20,000 corporate customers worldwide, was a grand slam boot-strapped success. RemoteScan was co-founded and owned 50/50 by my business partner and me, and ran at 85% profit for years. Millions of dollars of profit poured in until the company was acquired for cash by Quest/Dell Inc. This is what is supposed to happen with start-ups. Before that, I founded and was a 50/50 partner of FreeMail, Inc, the first commercially successful web-based email system. FreeMail was used as Kinkos/FedEx’s worldwide Kinkonet system before being acquired by WAM!NET/WorldCom in 1999, just before the criminal fraud and collapse of WorldCom and Enron occurred. I wrote a novel about the criminals that were swirling about me during that time: Paper Targets - Art Can Be Murder

Recently I spent several years coding, developing and deploying a successful algorithmic, real-time, high speed trading system, developed with TradeStation's OOEL Language.
