TAPS has left the building.....

As of June 1st, my credit union became a customer of solution.Lending (F.K.A. TAPS) which is now offered by Akcelerant. It was an exciting yet surreal moment. For some reason, it brought back several fond memories of the creation of TAPS. Doug True and I designed TAPS on a my porch with a cheap whiteboard and a couple of cases of mountain dew. We never imagined what would come of that day. We were just two guys trying to solve a problem for our credit union. It was raw innovation at its finest.

Who would have thought that not only did we solve the problem for our credit union but that it would be serving up loan originations for over thirty credit unions across the country. I get all goose pimply to think that hundreds of millions of dollars were originated from an idea that Doug and I originated on a porch. Pretty Cool!

TAPS is no more but the idea lives on and is in great hands with Akcelerant. They are going to do great things with solution.Lending and I can't wait to see what will come next.

It was quite a ride! Learned a lot and wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. Now on to the next "thing(s)". So many opportunities -- so little time.
