Barney Stone – President

Barney Stone, founder and President of Stone Edge Technologies, Inc., built his first computer from an assortment of kits, traded it in for an early Apple ][, and hung out with computing pioneers like Steve Wozniak, Andy Hertzfeld, Bill Budge, and Captain Crunch at the San Francisco Apple Corps. He co-authored a database program called DB Master and since then he’s made a successful career out of writing software for small businesses. In 1999, a friend asked Barney to write a program to help manage his ecommerce business. That program turned into the Stone Edge Order Manager and years later, the feature-rich order management system has more than 2,500 companies using it. Barney gets satisfaction out of helping small companies like his own grow. He doesn’t think he’s as geeky as he sounds, lives in a 200 year old farmhouse with his wife, Winnie, and in his spare time he makes artwork from kiln-fired glass.
