Prior to joining Medusa, Mark worked at Dell Computer where he quickly rose to the level of Lead Senior Analyst in the Enterprise Server Development Lab.   He made major contributions to Dell's entry into enterprise server development by serving as product test leader for the early  PowerEdge servers.  Mark currently has 9 US patents pending.


David Schinke is Third I/O’s resident code guru.   David has the well deserved reputation of being able to take any creative thought and create code that will quickly prove or disprove the merits of the idea.
