He worked for corporations in Pennsylvania, Colorado, New York, and his native state of New Jersey, among other places. After that, he spent five years working for a tiny softwaredevelopment firm in Jacksonville Beach. Halladay even worked for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter for six years in the World Trade Center.
He moved out to Colorado to attend CU Boulder, starting a degree in Architecture only to find out he was more passionate about Business. Alex understood he knew next to nothing about softwaredevelopment and engineering, so he searched for an engineer. He also wasn’t a pro at marketing, so he looked for marketers.
I remember my friend Ryan Martens sitting down with me and Chris Wand around 2001 and walking us through his idea for changing the how he approached managing the softwaredevelopment process. But I’ll end with one of them – the creation of the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado (now Pledge 1% ).
I thought Id share a little bit of that, too: I’ve been interested in different approaches to softwaredevelopment going back to 1987 when – in my first company Feld Technologies – my partner Dave Jilk and I started talking about “semi-custom softwaredevelopment&# (way ahead of its time).

He writes enterprise Java software for a living but loves the thrill of starting and managing new businesses. He lives and works in Denver, Colorado.
I, I literally just wanted a pizza and I was a softwaredeveloper and so I wrote a version, one of, of a neighborhood delivery guide showed me all the restaurants delivered to me. I was making about half as much money as I did as a softwaredeveloper, which wasn't great, but it was like, okay, this is all right.
And what I think you heard in that, like "I accidentally created a softwaredevelopment competition," is actually not quite right. Softwaredevelopment. Even as entrepreneurs, fundamentally we're disrupting something, we're trying to do something in a way that it hasn't been done before. That's literally our plan.
