I'm located in Lynchburg, VA. I'm a EE student a Liberty University.

I don't have a ton of products yet (only about 160), but at some point I'd really like to cater to FIRST teams, kind of like AndyMark except focused on electronics components, sensors, etc..

Great site, I'm impressed that you have 160 products !
It would be great to have more FIRST distributors focused on electronics.

How long have you been working on this site and company ?

Neat, I will pass this along to our electrical team.

Thanks!

I've been working on it part time since the fall of 2011 and just launched it about two months ago. One of the reasons it took me so long is that I wrote an ERP (e-commerce platform, accounting, manufacturing, etc.) from scratch (probably not the best business decision considering the amount of time it took to write it, but it was an incredible learning experience and is super efficient since it's tailored for my business).
