Kurt Vanderwater

Kurt has 45 years of IT experience in mainframes, local area networks, and database administration. He has spearheaded projects for well-known companies such as PPG Industries, National Foundation Life Insurance, Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX. and Diamond Shamrock. In 1983, Kurt launched Meridian Data Systems, installing large-scale networks for many companies in Oklahoma and custom database applications designed by Meridian’s team of programmers.

In 1995, Meridian redirected all of its staff and expertise to the web. Kurt’s innate ability to see what is ahead and cutting edge in the industry has been key to establishing Meridian’s web development branch, The Worx Company, as a leader in website content delivery on the Drupal platform and web-enabled databases.
