About Steven Birchfield

I started my entrepreneurial career as a tennis coach where I worked with world class juniors and built Professional Tennis Service, Inc. into a regional presence in the Southwestern United States. Managing recreational tennis clubs and competitive youth programs formed many of the business ideas I utilize today. Being a competitive tennis coach allowed me to develop motivational techniques and recognize the importance of simple, direct, and flexible ways to accomplish things in a fun way. I moved into the professional world of Software Development in the late 1980’s where I founded Automation Centre LC. We have successfully grown Automation Centre in to a multi-million dollar enterprise and have implemented our software for many of the Fortune 500 including 3M, Coca-Cola, DuPont, and General Motors. Today, our business applications provide business services to the best and brightest companies across the globe.
