Current Projects
What I'm Building
From e-commerce businesses to AI software solutions, I'm always working on something new. Here are my current and past projects that keep me busy and excited about the future.
2BigFeet
Men's Big Feet Specialists
For over 25 years, 2BigFeet has been the premier source of large size shoes for men, sizes 14 to 25. 2BigFeet sells over 40 brands of footwear, socks and accessories and has shipped shoes to every corner of the globe.
In 2017, 2BigFeet acquired BigFootwear, a decades-old specialty online shoe store out of New Jersey and in 2020 launched Michael Ellis Footwear, a line of shoes designed and developed exclusively for guys with big feet.
- Over 25 years of experience in large-size footwear
- Comprehensive selection of styles and brands

Michael Ellis Footwear
The Biggest Shoes in the World
We started Michael Ellis Footwear out of frustration. We got tired of asking (begging) popular shoe brands to make more styles in big sizes and widths, so we took matters into our own hands.
After years of research, development and production, Michael Ellis Footwear now offers sneakers, dress shoes, casual shoes & boots, house slippers, water shoes, and socks up to size 20, with some sneakers available to size 25 6E.
- Manufacturing shoes up to size 25
- Exclusive designs and styles
- Premium quality materials and construction
Mill Town Leather
Handcrafted Leather Goods
My grandfather made leather belts, holsters and sheaths as a hobby, and I used to sit in awe and watch him work. I inhered his leathercrafting tools and design belts, planners, notebook covers, wallets and more from the same desk he sat at over 30 years ago.
Our leather products are made of the highest qualityh full-grain vegetable and chrome tanned leathers sourced from the Americas and handcrafted in LaGrange, Georgia, a rural Georgia textile mill town.
- Handcrafted premium leather products
- Made in small-town USA
- Custom designs available

InnerCORE
Apps That Solve Real Problems
In running our own businesses and through our engagements with clients, we often found a need for a special purpose app, but there was either nothing out on the market or what was available was bloated with feature creep or prohibitively expensive.
We create web, macOS, iOS, WordPress, and Shopify apps that solve real problems for small businesses. We have created over a dozen small applications over the years, many were not released to the public. We are completing several applications scheduled for release in early 2026.
- MacOS and iOS app development
- WordPress and Shopify integrations
- Focus on small business solutions
LocalSource
Community Business Directories
We created a business directory to promote the locally owned and operated small businesses in our community, and immediately thought, "this is something that every small town should have!"
We are making our software available to anyone in a small town that wants to help local businesses and make a great living at the same time. We handle all of the technical backend, including hosting, payment processing, data analytics, and let directory owners focus on promoting businesses in their small towns.

- Support small businesses in your community

DoubleTake
Shopify Inventory Management
we got tired of downloading inventory quantities in Excel and printing them off to do physical stock takes throughout the year. The apps that we found on the market either didn't have the features that we wanted or were bloated and cost too much so we made our own.
DoubleTake let you create a full or partial stock take based on any criteria like brand, vendor, location in the warehouse, or randomly, and it lets you scan barcodes with your smartphone camera or barcode scanner. It's namesake feature comes from our internal process of doing stock takes when there is a discrepancy, having a second set of eyes verify the account. DoubleTake hides initial QOH data until a count is entered and then automatically schedules a verification if the quantities don't match.
- Barcode scanning for inventory
- Easy stock take verification
- Mobile and desktop support
