Jay attained a BA (Economics) and an MBA from UCLA before joining IBM in 1974. Jay held a number of sales and management assignments in Los Angeles and Virginia during his 10 year career with IBM. He left IBM in 1984 to become President of Digital Systems in Pensacola, Florida.

Through the remainder of the 1980's, Digital Systems evolved into a division of Convergent Technologies and later part of Convergent Business Systems, a Unisys subsidiary. Jay led these organizations and formed Coaxis to purchase them from Unisys in 1990.

Jay's association with the construction market dates back to 1987. As a consistent innovator in applying leading-edge technologies to address each industry's unique business problems, Jay is often sought as a subject matter expert for trade and industry organizations. Additionally, because of his ownership of RiverEast Center, a Gold LEEDs building and headquarters for Coaxis, he is also active in sustainability efforts and economic development activities in the Pacific Northwest. His two oldest sons, Scott and Miles, are both part of Coaxis' growing organization.
Henry joined the Coaxis management team in 2004 after founding, growing and operating a web design and hosting enterprise. Prior to that, Henry honed his business skills in other segments of both the technology and general business marketplace. In his Coaxis role, Henry is responsible for bringing the latest in Internet-based technologies and ease-of-use characteristics to Coaxis products.

Most recently, Henry has been charged with leading the effort to bring world-class Learning Services to the organization. Both divisions will be developing sophisticated online Learning Portals to support our state-of-the-art classroom facilities on both coasts.
Jim comes to Coaxis from the General Electric company where he served as General Manager for one of the company's divisions responsible for engineering, design and manufacturing of high tech security electronic hardware and software with over $200 million in annual revenues.

Prior to joining GE, Jim held a variety of sales and marketing leadership roles with companies ranging in size from $4MM to $650MM where he was responsible for driving top line growth initiatives. Jim brings an intense customer focus and a reputation for strong operational execution to Coaxis where he will be responsible for developing critical strategic and tactical direction that delivers innovative software solutions and enhanced service levels to our customers. Jim holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse and MBA from the University of Oregon.
Allen joined Insight in 1997 as an Installation Consultant, after working as General Manager of a wine wholesaler running Insight software. His familiarity with the beverage industry and its processes made his transition to Installation Manager of Insight Distribution Software a natural one. In 2005, Allen took on the role of Insight President.
Myrna was recruited by Viewpoint's founders to join their management team during a period of expansion in 1980. She has held numerous positions in the company during her 26-year tenure. Following stints as Corporate Accountant, Administrative Manager, Vice President of Operations, and Vice President of Customer Service, Myrna assumed her current responsibilities as President in January, 1990.
Shirley Taft joined Digital Systems in 1984 under the direction of Jay Haladay in Pensacola, Florida. Following the creation of Coaxis, Inc., the Coaxis Business Forms division was formed to address the unique printing, forms and supplies needs for Viewpoint Construction Software customers. In 1993, Shirley was promoted to her current position of General Manager of Operations.
