Imperium was founded, and continues to be run, by a talented group of individuals with complementary skill sets.

Colin Bodor

Systems and Network Administrator

Someone once said we should work hard, but play harder. Whoever said this never met Colin Bodor. When Colin is working, he is playing. Colin has been tinkering with networks, outwitting IRC servers, and customizing UNIX machines since he was old enough to operate a mouse.

He has spent many years consulting for a wide variety of organizations. His knack for business and his technical skills led him to becoming co-founder and manager of several successful IT start-ups.

Technical Expertise

Scott Steil

Web Application Designer

Experts in natural and artificial intelligence say that populations share an unconscious intellect, which helps them solve problems. Some experts study the process to harness this untapped potential to consciously solve problems as well.

Scott is one of those experts.

While earning his degree in computer science, he began working with computer models of the human immune system to understand and predict the triggers that allow generalized communities to solve problems. As a member of Imperium, he is finding way to apply this knowledge in both traditional and creative ways.
