What we are all about.
About Us
We are 3 normal GSU students trying to help relieve the costs of textbooks. Like many business ideas, this was one created out of necessity. The original business concept was Casey's idea and with the help of Joe and Nate we have turned the concept into a utility that we hope all GSU students will eventually use. We are always looking for ways to improve the site, so please contact us with any ideas that you have or edits that you would like to see implemented.

Roles: HTML/CSS, Project Leader
I am a GSU Information Technology student with a passion for cool business ideas. My emphasis is in Network Administration and I have a second discipline in Management. In relation to the site, I am the business guy and the HTML guy. I work on the front end to make sure all the awesome programming that Nate and Joe create looks good. I am also responsible for business relations and anything else that is not code related. Basically, I come up with cool ideas that make Nate and Joe code for hours...and then I take credit for it. It's fun being the boss!!

Roles: DB Admin; Some development and management work
I graduated from GSU with a Information Technology degree emphasizing in Networking and a second discipline in Management and now live in Alpharetta working for Safe Systems Inc. I have been part on the site since 2006 and continue to support its purpose. My main role is the database go to guy including creating many of the SQL queries that EagleBookSwap runs on. I also work with Nate coding PHP and supporting front end languages. The site runs on numbers and the more total users the more swaps which means more money saved for you, and less money for the book stores.

Roles: PHP, Javascript, and a little of everything else
I am a sophomore Information Technology major at GSU specializing in Web Development with a second discipline in Multimedia for Information Technology. Casey contacted me with the idea on the site, and I thought it was a great idea. I was tired of books being so expensive, and not getting anything back. On the site, I am primarily the PHP guy. My job is to do all of the sites backend programming, however I am sometimes required to dable in whatever else needs to be done including AJAX, Javascript, and CSS.
