Bill likes to say he's a jack of all trades, master of none - but the truth is, no one could be better at overseeing operations at Full Slate.
Bill is a veteran of three Seattle start-ups – Onyx Software, Qpass and 3Guppies – where he played a variety of crucial roles in product management, product development, business operations, and international operations. He has a combined 11 years of consulting experience with Andersen (now Accenture), Point B Solutions Group and independently. He's led projects spanning strategy development, process improvement, plus planning and oversight of major system implementations for clients including Starbucks, Boeing, Microsoft, PEMCO Insurance, Horizon Air and The Grameen Foundation. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University.
Bill's free time is filled with family and community activities – mostly surrounding the athletic, musical and social interests of his three school-aged children. In addition, Bill enjoys mountain biking and hiking, and is a regular at Thursday Night Basketball with his buddies at the neighborhood "Y."

Chris recognized the need for online scheduling and enlisted the rest of the team to turn that vision into a reality. She continues to shape the product and drive the Company's go-to-market strategy.
Over the past 10 years, Chris has been on the front lines of interactive marketing, web analytics and product management for online services. Prior to starting Full Slate, she was the vice president of marketing at 3Guppies, a service that enabled consumers to move media between the web and their cell phones. Before that, Chris was a product manager for MSN Entertainment responsible for running an internet radio service and launching a music download store. Chris also worked at Classmates Online, where she was the senior manager of sales for a paid membership that generated the majority of the company’s revenue. Back in 1999, Chris was an early employee (#7) at AdRelevance, one of the very first firms to measure and analyze internet advertising activity. She holds a BBA in Marketing from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Chris spends her time outside of work chasing after a very curious baby and two dogs. When the sun is shining she's often in the garden, at the park, on the lake, or in the woods with her faithful companions.
