As a company, we maintain a strong adherence to our core values in all our endeavors - integrity, innovation, agility, quality, reach - and require the same from our team members. The team is comprised mostly of technical talent with a few operational folks thrown in to make sure our customers remain happy. See more pictures of the DomainTools team on our Facebook Page.
Our Employees
-
Tim C.CEOOriginally from Western NY, Tim is a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan whose newest prized possession is the Bills umbrella given him by the DomainTools employees upon his move to Seattle 2 years ago. His favorite domain name "deal" of all time was (with the help of a generous industry colleague) acquiring and donating the BuffaloJills.com domain name to the Bills cheerleading squad in 2007 in exchange for 2 VIP game tickets and a signed Jills calendar. -
MarkDirector of Product ManagementMark's favorite toys as a young boy were Radio Shack electronic kits. He built all sorts of useful products, like an alarm that went off when his family let the cats out early in the morning (oops!). He's since moved on to more pragmatic ventures and spends most of his time crafting product strategies, although the lights in his house still run on a small loop of Perl code! -
MonicaMarketing ManagerTraveling and learning languages are an important part of Monica's life. She has lived in Argentina and Mexico, and speaks different fluency levels of German, Japanese and Spanish (in addition to English, of course). She is very adventurous with food and one of her goals each year is to travel to a new country. -
KirstenControllerKeeping in mind that Kirsten is an accountant, she claims to have a complete type A behavior and tries to mellow out her compulsive behavior with yoga and pilates! She has three daughters, ages 1,4, and 6. Unfortunately, the two older ones have already acquired Kirsten's obsession for shoes. She fears for their teenage years already... -
BenSEO & Analytics ManagerBen grew up in a town of just 350 people in Floyd, Iowa. He is officially the tallest member of DomainTools, towering at 6'6". He loves going out to eat and talking about good food/restaurants. In addition to food, Ben's other passion is traveling. At least once a month, Ben and his wife wake up Saturday morning and take off on a spontaneous road trip to explore the Pacific Northwest. -
RayCo-founder and Technology AdvisorRay likes to wear Birkenstocks with socks in the winter, without socks in the summer. Other descriptions of Ray: He's not a domainer and he is by far the loudest, most vocal Mario Kart Wii player of all the DomainTools employees! -
MaximeEngineerMaxime is always in front of a screen. When it's not to develop something, it's to play on it, or watch a TV show. That's mainly why he can talk to you for hours about Ruby, Final Fantasy and Stargate, without even noticing that he's actually talking way too much. -
ChrislainEngineerChrislain enjoys web development and sharing good tech links. He also likes sharing simple ideas, principles or concepts with others on various topics. At this moment, he's working on an epic script that can be applied to many things : "while (count($problems)) findSolution()".

SusanVP Product & MarketingWalking is Susan's favorite form of transportation and recreation. Not only is a great way get exercise and enjoy the world around you, but it offers Susan time to spend with two of her favorite things—Zoey & Leo, her Portuguese Water Dogs. But, until she learns how to walk on water, using this as a form of transportation makes it prohibitively impossible to attend meetings abroad and must rely upon common forms of transportation. -
GustavoDirector of Technology & OperationsIf you visit our offices, you may be tempted to get candy from the plastic cow on Gustavo's desk. Be aware that the cow is alarmed and will "moo" when you try to get the candy. Only experienced co-workers are able to get the candy without alerting the entire office. In Gustavo's spare time, you will find him practicing AcroYoga and racing on a dragonboat team in the summer. -

BrianOffice ManagerBrian enjoys the summers in Seattle. He spends many hours boating on Lake Washington and Lake Union playing CD's that he has made (he is also known as DJ Wink). -
CindySenior Graphic DesignerCindy designed her first website in 1995, and almost called her dog Mozilla to celebrate but decided Pixel was a better name. Since then, if she's not Photoshopping or Illustrating, there's a good chance she is browsing online for new UI inspiration or just creating another Pandora station. -
JulienEngineerJulien lives in France on the Luxembourg's border. When he's not coding in Java, building a house in Minecraft or hunting dragons in Skyrim, you will find him enjoying a beer with his friends, talking about geeky stuff. He owes his nickname's Schoumy to his passion for Formula 1. -
Yul SelessSpecial Assistant to System AdministratorWhen Yul is not tackling technology updates at DomainTools, you will find him joining in on super competitive DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) contests. His other interestes include playing old-school video and computer games (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Oregon Trail are his favorites) in addition to live action role-playing.

Michael K.VP Research & DevelopmentA Washington native, Michael enjoys the refreshingly cool, cloudy, wet weather of Seattle. He likes to spend most of his free time with his wife and daughter. If it's 4:30 and you can't find Michael, you may want to check the office theater. He'll be busy pummeling his office mates in a competitive game of Mario Kart Wii. -
BruceDirector of EngineeringBruce loves the weather in Seattle. He grew up in the Appalachian mountains in Virginia, and also lived for eight years in upstate New York - so he knows what really bad weather can be like. He likes to spend time outdoors hiking, climbing, and canoeing. He and his wife are owned by three whippets. -
EmilySenior EngineerEmily enjoys being in nature especially on those rare sunny Seattle days...hiking, swimming, biking...anywhere that she can spend time with her family and friends and explore new places. When being inside is a must, Emily prefers to let her creative juices flow by working on art projects or learning new styles of dance. -
JesseSenior EngineerWhen Jesse isn't writing software or reading tech news blogs, he can be found hiking, biking, camping, and climbing all over the Northwest. If the sun is shining (or by Seattle standards, not raining), he has a hard time staying indoors. -
JasonEngineerJason really enjoys building things, from the abstract with software to hands-on with electronics. He also enjoys working on mechanical things—he has an older truck he's slowly working on and plans to rebuild the quadrajet carburetor. Jason has also done quite a bit of traveling and has lived in NZ, Australia, London, and is now here in Seattle. -
Mike M.EngineerMike was born and raised in Big Sky Country (Montana) and, naturally, he likes skiing and hiking. Interesting fact: his first computer was a Commodore 64. Away from the office, you will likely find him enjoying fine Belgian ales as well as craft beers from the United States. -
SteveEngineerSteve spent most of his childhood in Maryland, watching tons of ACC basketball. Although he still loves watching basketball, his favorite participant sport now is sailing, especially buoy racing. Steve wrote his first small computer program on a TI-99/4A, and the program, written in BASIC, was saved on cassette tape. -
