Executive Team
To create the world's safest software solution for children, it takes a strong, experienced and innovative team.
B. Michael Adler, Chairman
Mr. Adler is founder of two public companies—Intellicall, Inc., and World Quest Networks, Inc.—that have been pioneers in emerging telecommunications and Internet technologies. Mr. Adler has been awarded ten United States patents that have been integral to telecommunications (answer supervision and automated collect used by MCI) and the Internet (click-to-talk used by Google). One evening he happened to see a program called, To Catch a Predator. His response was to think, "I can't let this go on. I have to do something." The result was his acquisition of CleverByte and the development of the software and strategy that became WebSafety.
Rowland W. Day II, Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Day has been a corporate lawyer representing both domestic and international public and private companies since 1983. Mr. Day has been a first round investor, founder, director or officer in many companies including; Far West Ventures, HDL Communications, Hythiam, Bikers Dream, Clearant, Predictive Systems, TechTeam Global, Inc. and Xcorporeal.

Mr. Williams has significant, hands-on experience in all controllership functions, new systems implementation, managing company quarterly and annual audit reviews, maintaining banking relationships and compliance reporting, cash management, and financial planning and analyses.
Russell Spiesser, Chief Technology Officer
In 2001, Mr. Spiesser founded CleverByte, a company primarily focused on developing cutting edge software for companies around the globe. Mr. Spiesser quickly gained recognition for creating innovative solutions to clients problems, many of which were world firsts. In 2004, he realized a massive demand for protection of kids and teenagers from the increasing dangers of the Internet. Later that year, he launched My Nabyoo, which empowered parents to protect their kids and is now an internationally recognized program that is top-rated by industry analysts. And in 2007 he was approached by Mr. Adler who recognized the genius of Mr. Spiesser's technology and knew where it needed to go. The rest is WebSafety history.
Travis Bond, Chief Operating Officer
Over 11 years as a police officer taught Mr. Bond more than anyone should have to learn about what happens when, despite the best efforts and intentions of parents, our children are not adequately protected. His years as a telecom executive, and previous law enforcement experience led Travis to believe that there had to be a technology solution for helping good parents get more control in providing safety to their children. Fifteen years experience of direct selling experience, serving as vice president of sales, marketing and operations led Mr. Bond to WebSafety, where he found the family-friendly technology of which he dreamed.
