Dovetail Apps - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Technology is taking over so many aspects of our lives, from basic accounting and word processing to retail, even to building custom cabinetry. It can be intimidating and hard to get your mind around, until you understand what computers and robots are all about and how to make them work for you. Logan Leger has such an understanding. He is a software engineer and entrepreneur in Baton Rouge, who founded the software development firm New Aperio back in 2010, after a few previous failed attempts at founding internet startups when he was still a student. Today, New Aperio creates and markets apps for the web and for smart phones. In the past seven years their clients have grown both locally and nationwide. New Aperio recently opened an office in Denver, Colorado. Mike Gennaro is another young entrepreneur, also using technology. Mike designs and builds custom cabinetry through his company, Barndog Mill, which he founded in 2011. Mike uses robotic technology with a CNC computer numerical control machine to help make cabinetry, which enables the company to be more efficient, less expensive, and still maintain the standards of beautiful, hand crafted wooden cabinetry.
