ABOUT
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 developed his business acumen in the hospitality industry managing several hotels and owning one for which he drove revenue growth by 300%. During this time, he started exploring ways of using technology to solve business problems, and left the hotel industry to found his own web application and hosting business. It was driving back from a ski trip with Jay in 2004 where they discovered a shared passion for technology that brought Henry to Viewpoint to leverage web technologies. The ability to envision something that doesn't exist drives his passion for building Viewpoint's learning organization.
Jim comes to Viewpoint 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.

Myrna joined Advanced Business Computers in 1980 as their first Administrative Manager where she quickly rose to Vice President of Operations, then Customer Service. She served as President from 1990 - 2008 and now CAO of both Viewpoint and Coaxis. Born and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, she arrived in Oregon with a blast - literally. It was May 1980 when her husband, an electrical engineer for Intel was transferred to Oregon and Mt. St. Helens blew. But it was the charisma of Viewpoint's founders and opportunity to work with a new technology startup that attracted her.
A native Oregonian, Daryl left Oregon State University with degrees in both Computer Science and Business Administration to join Viewpoint more than 30 years ago. In the early days with just 8 people, he enjoyed using all his skills in operating systems, application programming and electrical engineering. Long before networking and the internet, Daryl created "Oscar" (Operating System Changer) and "DJcom", combined with custom data transfer boxes, to transfer data between computers with different configurations. When later faced with porting a library of applications to an entirely new operating system, he created a series of management utilities that allowed the application software to operate relatively unchanged.
