Steve Barcik Amstel CEO Start Up Founder 6 times 3 exits

I have owned, been president of, grown and sold four companies: a volleyball company called Spike Nashbar, a bicycle company called Bike Nashbar, a computer software company called Nashbar\Associates, Inc. and a school uniform company called Choice Uniforms. As a part of running those businesses: I have managed as many as 350 people, grew sales to over $35 million per year, received a patent and sold those companies for as much as multiple 8 figures. Through my membership with the Young President's Organization, I attended executive education at Harvard University. I am also an instrument-rated (though not current) pilot. I now run FaxBetter, an internet telecom provider that has serviced over 500,000 customers to date and have invested seed capital in a patent-pending digital marketing technology.
