Under the Radar: GroveSite with CEO Joseph McVicker
10:27 | 
GroveSite was founded on the knowledge that existing collaboration tools lacked the flexibility, affordability, and responsiveness needed to meet the emerging needs of organizations. With the advent of cell phones, laptops, and widely-available internet access, working teams were becoming more dispersed. Organizations were increasingly looking to form partnerships and strategic alliances to pool talent, move product and ideas, and increase efficiencies. Existing collaboration solutions were complex, expensive and required intensive implementations. GroveSite stepped in to provide an easy, fast, and affordable solution to organizations, regardless of size.
Joseph McVicker, Founder and President, Grove Technologies
Mr. McVicker’s twenty year career has focused on using information technology to foster collaboration and workflow. Mr. McVicker is the architect of GroveSite’s flagship online collaboration product and a successful serial entrepreneur.

Ease-of-use is the key design principle of every McVicker-architected technology solution, as is evident in GroveSite.
Mr. McVicker grew up in an entrepreneurial home, working for Aircast, the family business, at age 10. He successfully founded and nurtured two other businesses, is an equity partner in two intellectual property start-ups , and serves on the Advisory Board of a new, disruptive technology GIS company.

I am afraid this is not a business comment but a question. I am interested to know if Joseph S McVicker has or had a father of the same name. I knew the J.S.McVicker of PlayDough fame for some years, mainly in the UK though he lived in the USA. He had two sons one of which I met. If you would be kind enough to answer my question I would be very plesed to hear from you for any information you are able to give.
