iPosit.com – Malouf Blogs

Welcome to iPosit.com.

I’m originally from Jackson, Miss.  Born & raised there for 30 years.  Mississippi is home, but I’m also of Lebanese descent.  Quite a combination, eh?  I started a web development shop there in March of 2000 called D2 Interactive.  We were an eBusiness services firm specializing in e-commerce, building web-based apps, database programming, web design, web/email hosting, content management solutions (like SpotEdit), search engine marketing and email marketing services.  Sold that company after 5 years in April 2005.  I was proud of how we’d grown D2 as a small, talented shop with 10-12 employees and two offices between Jackson, MS & Oxford, MS.

So, at the ripe old age of 30, I sold my first company to join another opportunity with Ashley Furniture HomeStores here in the Carolinas.  Now 34 years young (or old, depending on your vantage point), I co-own 10 Ashley Furniture HomeStores in Charlotte, NC; Upstate, SC (Greenville, Spartanburg, & Anderson).  And, I’m very happily married to the former Miss Kelli Nicole Evans.

I like Lost, The Office & good food.  The Chicago Cubs and Ole Miss Rebels are my two favorite teams.  I also gotta pull for the Carolina Panthers & the Charlotte Bobcats now that Charlotte is home.  For the past year, I’ve been a big fan of Twitter.

I should also mention that I’ve been a huge Apple fan for the past 2 years.  I bought the iPhone the first day it came out on Friday, June 29th, 2007, and I purchased a MacBook Pro on Black Friday 2007.  I gotta say that I’ve really enjoyed becoming an Apple/Mac/iPhone fanatic.  Recently switched from open source (Firefox/Thunderbird/OpenOffice) to Apple’s suite of software (MacMail/Safari/iWork).

I’d also like to give a shout out to CharlotteONE led by Dave Hickman (follow him on Twitter – @DaveHickman).  And, I’d like to mention my brother Jason who just recently accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  I’m very proud of him. He & his wife Allison recently (April 2009) welcomed their 3rd son (Callum Paul Malouf) into the world, and I’m excited that they’ve asked me to be the baby’s godfather.
