Working With Rails

Steve Martocci originally had the vision of creating the digital version of the Live Strong bracelet and founded Sympact with the goal of making a “SYMpathetic imPACT”. In order to do this, Steve contacted long time family friend and founder of the Gift of Life International, Robert Donno, as a starting point. Robbie later introduced Steve to Tony Bucci of MARC USA and Jim McCann of 1-800-Flowers.com and from those meetings the realization that Sympact’s technology and the concept of syndicated web content could extend beyond non-profits became apparent. Steve has a long-term vision for the company and continues to motivate and manage the team to execute it. Sympact recently launched BokayMe (www.bokayme.com) a digital gifting service for 1-800-Flowers.com. His previous experience includes being the founding member of the development team for MaxMD, the company that owns the .md top-level domain. Steve received his Bachelors of Science in Information Systems from Carnegie Mellon University. Since he was growing up in Manhasset NY he has always been an avid music fan and has traveled the country and world to see his favorite bands.
