Joseph Clarke \| CEO & Founder Joseph started it all programming into the wee hours of the night after his day job. With much patience and passion he completed the first product "Internet Audio Mix". A year later, sales started taking off and he was able to work full time on his software. Joseph graduated with a Bachelor of Computer Science degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1994. After a 6 month internship at Apple Inc., he took a job at a game company called The Imagination Network where he was the sound programmer and designer. He now spends his time figuring out what customers want and then simply makes it!
