The Team

Our story begins with two friends - Steve & Ilse. In 1997, they met at NETC in Boston -- Steve, the network engineer with everyNetwork and Ilse, the operations manager of NETC. By 1999, they were both living in Vermont's Mad River Valley and developing a new business plan:help people utilize the Internet for their business.

On March 6, 2000, Steve launched the Internet-consulting business, VickeryHill.com, in grand fashion with his little-publicized, but much enjoyed, SmartBeetle trip. Forty-six days later, he was back in Vermont working on Harpoon Brewery's online storefront. By October, Steve was busy, needed full-time help... and so Ilse officially joined VickeryHill.

Combining new technology, creativity and our unique strengths, VickeryHill's was founded to build solutions for businesses using Internet technology. We strive to provide excellent customer service and develop a better world than the one we woke up to.
