Tim Turnquist

Tim knows things. He knows web development. He knows business. And he knows how to build and lead a team that can help you with your business.

Tim has nearly 30 years of business experience, with over 12 years dedicated to application development. He specializes in the use of PHP and MySQL, with particular expertise using tools like Joomla!, SugarCRM and webERP.

Tim has seen first-hand how a vast array of businesses work from the inside. He has experience in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors; and for huge organizations and small ones. Prior to starting this company, he owned a men’s clothing business where he developed a wide range of business skills. Tim enjoys applying his collection of professional experiences to your project, helping you build and manage your business better.

The Big Ring Team

Tim may know a lot, but he also knows that he doesn’t know everything. So, while Big Ring Software has just one employee — founder and owner Tim Turnquist — the business is built upon collaboration. Over the years he has met a lot of great people who like his way of doing things — and he draws upon their experience as well. The result for you is the best service and products for the best price.

Tim believes in hand-picking his business affiliates and bringing them into his projects on an as-needed basis. By custom tailoring the skills and subject matter expertise to your project, you only pay for what you use.

And that will help you break away from the pack

Fred Mayer

Fred has over ten years of experience in marketing communications, with a focus on the healthcare information technology sector. Equally comfortable with web and print media, he has developed content for numerous websites, microsites and intranets; designed and produced brochures, sales briefs and countless other collateral; and managed marketing and communications staff for a rapidly growing IT company. Like Tim, Fred loves bike racing and knows the value of having a good team around you.

Granville Harlow

Over his thirty years advising large and small businesses, Granville has learned the importance of both the hard and soft skills of business management, and is equally comfortable analyzing income statements and balance sheets as he is cultivating customer relationships and reaching collaborative solutions. Perhaps most importantly, Granville knows how to execute, realizing that the best strategy is meaningless without proper execution. 

Sean Cleary

With an impressive resume spanning over 20 years worth of work — including Art Director at Carmichael Lynch — Sean is the “art and soul” of the Big Ring Team. Sean specializes in logo design and illustration, print design from concept through production, web design and creative direction.
