During this time, Cameron has obtained numerous electronics, computer repair, programming
and network-related certifications.
While Cameron has been working as an employee for the above mentioned companies, he has
also been affiliated with many other companies as a contractor. Cameron was a partner
with Jim Couey in his first Internet related business, Alabama Network Service.
Alabama Network Service began in 1995 with Cameron and Jimmy's vision to be a leading
local Internet Service Provider. Ala-Net, as it was affectionately known, offered
personal and commercial Internet access and web hosting services. Ala-Net also partnered
with paging company Dial-Page to offer the first E-Mail to Pager service in North Alabama.
Although the goal of the business was to provide connectivity to the Internet, the need
for web design was also high in demand. Cameron spun off a business he called Phoenix
Graphics. Phoenix Graphics built numerous websites for several companies across the
country.
Cameron left Ala-Net in 1997 and took a break from the side business to polish his
Internet skills by learning several new Internet technologies. Cameron worked for
a local cutting-edge company to build one of the Internet's most advanced e-Commerce
systems for the time.
In early 2000, Cameron formed his next company, Internet Experts LLC. The success of this
company was quickly noticed by the up and coming e-Commerce company Akopia, Inc. Cameron
accepted a position with them on the condition that he would close his business, which he did
in August of 2000. In early 2001, Akopia, Inc. was acquired by Red Hat, Inc. Cameron quickly
made his way through the ranks to become the manager of the e-Business Solutions Group's
hosting division.
Although certainly a success, Red Hat decided in early 2002 that e-Commerce was too far from
their core business and began taking steps to dissolve this portion of their company. Cameron
accepted a severance package from Red Hat in late 2002 and was the last remaining e-Commerce
employee to leave.
For the next two years, Cameron worked solely for Kottmann, Inc. as a programmer and
LAN/WAN administrator. He enjoys this position and has a great relationship with the Kottmann
president, Tony Johnson. Cameron's continuing desire to have his own company prompted him to
form Prince Services LLC, and he now works for both companies and shares some projects between
the two.
