New article name is Adam Phillips

Background
The son of Jewish parents from the great city of Philadelphia, Phillips says that his father "was a big example. He was always working for himself as I was growing up, being his own boss. He was very dedicated to his family, and making sure we had everything we needed."

Phillips says he was "not excited to be a student, though a good one through high school". But he says that he improved as a student after enrolling in Athen's UGA in 1993. Phillips owned several businesses before opening Infinite Data in 1996 with partner Brett Rudolph. Infinite Data was a small company focused on providing LAN implementations to help get small businesses connected to the Internet.

Visiture Internet Marketing
Through Visiture Internet Marketing, Phillips is involved with web consulting, design, development and marketing. Visiture offers SEM Management and search engine optimization services. According to the Post & Courier, Visiture employs a 12-member staff and has done SEM and SEO work for ApartmentFinder, RealEstateBook and AllConnect.

sellModern
Phillips created sellModern, a source for modern homes online, back in 2005 when he had the need to sell his first home in Atlanta. The website allows users to search all over the country and even around the world for just modern/contemporary homes. HGTV HGTV, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal have all featured homes which were displayed on sellModern.com.

EyeExcel
EyeExcel was a eCommerce store which sold contact lenses. The concept was conceived and eventually developed by Phillips and Ashley Messer. The site quickly grew to offer all major contact lens brands including Acuvue. Phillips' vision for the site was to create a simple interface to search for contacts and the ability to re-order.

Agency180
Agency180 was ahead of its time. Conceived in 1998 as an online interactive agency, Agency180 attracted big business very quickly, which included the international brand Chupa Chups. Due to differences with the original founders, Agency180 was sold in early 2000 to a local ad agency.
