About Us
FileGenius was developed by Applied Answers, Inc., a technology solutions firm founded by three individuals with nearly 60 years of cumulative experience gained in developing technology-based “business builders” for all types and sizes of organizations.
A common, motivating force behind FileGenius is the founders' strong, shared belief that technology alone is not an effective tool. Without careful consideration of the situation, competent analysis of need, and the ultimate goal of efficiently enhancing the bottom line, technology too often becomes nothing more than a necessary evil for many organizations.
Keith Bumgarner
Keith has more than 30 years of engineering, product development, and marketing experience in technology, all heavily influencing the development vision of FileGenius. A hallmark of his career has been to successfully match the needs of groups of people with cost-effective, productive, and creative technology solutions. Throughout his career, Keith has repeatedly delivered solutions to organizations that pay for themselves many times over, always enhancing the bottom line and work experience for his clients. In his career he has worked with Xerox, Fuji, Sharp, 3M, Siemens, Harris, Kodak, AT&T, and other notable organizations to provide intelligent, productive, and creative ways to generate success through well-crafted technology. His belief that his own success can only be measured by the success of his clients is evident in every aspect of FileGenius, including customer service and support.

Steve Bumgarner
Steve, armed with a Computer Science degree from a prominent northeastern university, has embraced the real-world challenges of developing efficient and successful web-based, front-end marketing tools for international leaders in the fields of technology, healthcare, financial services, media & entertainment, and telecommunications. Motivated by a strict “best practices” regimen, Steve applies an increasingly expansive skill-set to all projects. This includes the significant achievement of leading the front-end to back-end integration of the marketing and site conversion of Ameritrade.com to TDAmeritrade.com, following the 2006 merger of the two financial giants. Now devoting his considerable resources to FileGenius, the evidence is there for all to experience. Approaching his second decade in technology, Steve's rich experiences gained while successfully developing the web presence of highly visible, demanding organizations plays an indispensable role in the ongoing evolution of FileGenius.
