Jim Everidge

Jim lives in Atlanta GA with his two children, Katelyn & James.  He owns a technology company, volunteers with youth (YMCA, Scouts), and is a member of North Point Community Church.  Hobbies include Golf, Flying, and Snow Skiing.

Started my technology company (Rapid Learning Deployment) in 1999.  Weathered some rough storms including my largest customer going out of business (Arthur Andersen) and the tech crash following 9/11.  Have had 7 successive years of profitability with my 8th one on the horizon.  We implement Enterprise software for large companies.  Projects are long (6-12+ months) so that has helped us weather the current economy.  Increased staff by 33% this year and doubled our office space (completed renovations in September).

Have been coaching soccer for 7 seasons – signed up for my 8th one next Spring.  Never played soccer as a kid so this is a completely new game for me.  Hold a State Certification in coaching.  Started a Cub Scout Pack from scratch for my children’s school.  Very interesting lessons in parental volunteering.  Involved with my church including the kids ministries. 

Continue golfing albeit not very often.  Glutton for punishment.  Obtained my pilot’s license last year so I can now fly to good golf courses.  Usually go snow skiing each year.

Daughter Katelyn is 11 and in 6th grade.  Son James is 7 and in 1st.  Both go to Fellowship Christian School in Roswell.  We enjoy traveling, biking and basketball.
