Elliott Augustine was born in Chicago to the parents Roger and Dolorse. He was raised in an environment inundated with technology. His father was a pioneer in proprietary schools and was an integral part of Entrepreneur Magazine in its early days. Elliott took advantage of his father's computer schools and all the various types of machines (Compaq, Kaypro, Televideo, Zenieth) he could explore. Rogers' employees enjoyed Elliott's enthusiasm for technology and taught his young son complicated programming languages like Assembly Language, Fortran, COBOL, RPG, and LISP all before the age of ten. During the seventies Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) ruled the world and CP/M was making way to MS-DOS and then Windows. The late seventies and the early eighties proved to be crucial to the development of the Internet. Elliott and his parents would find themselves situated in Georgia in the late seventies. At the time Georgia was on the personal computer map because it was the home of Hayes Microcomputer Products, the creator of the first commercially accessible modem. With the accessibility of the personal computer rising, Elliott found himself in the right place at the right time. His previous knowledge of much more complicated computer systems and programming languages allowed Elliott to master this new field of telecommunications with ease. In the eighties, the Internet was charging ahead full steam. Elliott's passions turned toward learning to program these new web pages and connecting them to databases. His enthusiasm for learning new languages and an ability to pick up seemingly complicated technologies rapidly, became a great asset. Elliott attended Saint Thomas Moore Elementary in Decatur, Henderson High School in Tucker, and then went onto college at Emory University. After college he worked for various companies in IT departments or as lead programmer for many of Georgia's best-known Fortune 1000 companies. At these organizations he refined his problem solving skills and learned to succeed in various corporate cultures; but because he was raised in an entrepreneurial environment it seemed as if Elliott either need to move into upper level management or start his own company. The decision was made to create WebXperts Design, Inc. The decision was made in 1997. WebXperts first client was Grady Hospital, the southeast's largest hospital. WebXperts built and maintained several enterprise level applications and redesigned their site several times. WebXperts was one of the few vendors to survive several changes in administration. They remained a client for five years. This model of successful projects with satisfied customers would become the standard. WebXperts would gain many more clients, including companies that previously employed Elliott Augustine, over the next ten years. Elliott's knowledge of business management, gained by watching his father, would be the guiding force that would sustain WebXperts through an Internet shakeup that closed a large majority of WebXperts competition. Today, Elliott and the company he built, WebXperts, go on to manage some of the Internet's largest sites and help guide many of their clients E-business strategies. WebXperts takes great pride in the fact that they treat every client's project as if they are the largest site on the Internet - which is why they continue to be one of the south's top internet development companies.
