John Patton was chosen as president. John brings ten years experience owning and operating a food manufacturing and distribution business, Rainbow Juices. That business was sold to Chiquita Banana and added to Naked Juice.
John's primary education was a bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Southern Illinois University. Upon his father's death in 1987, he passed ownership of Rainbow Juices to his brother so he could be the primary caregiver to his mother who had Alzheimer's. It was during these years that he learned database programming and developed forecasting systems, invoicing and warehouse management systems.
After his mother's death in 1996 he attended CU Boulder to refresh and hone math skills. While there he worked at CU's Helpdesk and BugBuster programs. Those responsibilities included managing security accounts, producing Web applications, debugging faculty and staff technical problems and scheduling on-site computer repairs. It was during this time that the technicians initiated the ideas that eventually lead to Web Media Engineering and website design.
The biggest complaint we received from our members was that they couldn't find anything on the [ old] BARA Website. There were limitations to the searching function and it just took too long to hunt down information. Furthermore, we simply outgrew our menu items and functionality.
Web Media Engineering offered the best vision for the BARA's Website functionality and capability, and the company's technology was more advanced than what we could find elsewhere.
But what impressed us the most was when the Web Media Engineering team came to the final selection meeting and unveiled a nearly completed, functioning Website for BARA. We were amazed at their speed and timeliness to put together the test site in just a few days. We knew then this was the company we wanted to do business with.
