Our Team

The Driving Force Behind click2try

Shifting novel ideas into high gear, the click2try team is a hands-on crew of top technical talent and encore entrepreneurs. We’ve clocked countless laps of experience at more than a dozen major technology firms, but it’s the thrill of high-tech start-ups that really revs our engine. Meet the key drivers who’ve taken us across the latest finish line.

Tom Callaghan

A sage in the software sphere, Tom has been on both sides of the desk and knows all the ins and outs of the selection and procurement process. Following his educational download from The University of Houston at Clear Lake, Tom completed a stint at computer giant Compaq and went on to co-found several successful technology companies including PACE Systems and Presage Technologies. He has served as chief architect for product lines and managed teams in the development, support and technical sales of commercial software. When he’s not relishing time with his wife and three children, Tom escapes terra firma for boating and offshore fishing.

Steve Hayward

With his inventive mind, creative abilities and uncompromising attention to detail, Mr. R&D leads the efforts to bring the products and services of click2try to fruition. Because Steve is a big Andy Grove fan, we’ve also put him in charge of all corporate paranoia initiatives to keep us far ahead of the competition. His 25+ years of experience in developing innovative software and steering software development in heavy-hitter firms comes in handy, too. When he’s not pursuing scientific discoveries, this Southern Illinois and University of Texas grad strums his guitar, travels by RV, follows college sports, manages his farm and soaks up country living.

Mark Smallwood

As a translator between the IT and user worlds, Mark crafts our technical Web content, catalog copy, Quick Start guides, tutorials and video tutorials. Not only an experienced technologist, Mark taps his all-encompassing background in customer experience, sales and marketing, and general business to communicate the complicated into something comprehendible. He’s a graduate of UC-San Diego and has worked or consulted with a myriad of big-name companies including Unisys, Oracle, Embarcadero Technologies and Yahoo!. Aside from helping members click2try, Mark enjoys travel, photography, woodworking, creative writing and blogging.
