Harris Turner
Founder and Principal
|
With over a decade in online business development, Harris Turner has spearheaded the successful development, launch, and evolution of key online and offline businesses. Always a problem-solving entrepreneur, his latest effort to make life more efficient for consumers is DeskPort.
Earlier projects include STATUS, the first application and business that allowed travelers to get their frequent flier account status online (built for United Airlines and Marriott Hotels in 1995), extensive work with Biztravel.com, ongoing operation of the Frequent Travel Marketing Association, and development of the technology behind Retrieve-It, an aggregation tool for data from disparate sources used to simplify the online purchasing process.
Like others, Harris has been frustrated for years by the extreme inefficiency of web browsers. DeskPort is the company's initial contribution to help solve this problem, at least on top-line reference for which most consumers use the Internet.
Turner was a graduate of Duke University and can be contacted at harris@deskport.biz.

Mike Hoeffner
Chief Technician and Principal
|
Mike Hoeffner took the DeskPort concept and turned it into a practical, functioning application. His early background includes that as an integration consultant for Trilogy, focusing on the telecommunications and automotive industries. He later managed an explosive-growth development team at CarOrder.com, a Trilogy spin-off.
He has more recently been focused on a variety of domains including enterprise business planning, peer-to-peer recruiting, and institutional investing. He is also the developer of the widely-used MileTracker frequent flier aggregation tool, which is one of the components of DeskPort. Mile Tracker simultaneously consolidates balances, transactions, and other account information from over 80 sources.
Among other things, Mike has an interesting hobby in trying to improve the lives of stray animals, whether by neutering/spaying dozens of feral cats or finding homes for abandoned puppies and escaped birds.
Hoeffner was a computer sciences graduate from Duke University and can be contacted
at mike@deskport.biz.
