THE TEAM

DEEPER DIVE

INTO OUR STORY

Meet the Team

Kim and Bill were competitors in Frisco, Texas 20 years ago, both already running their own web firms for years, when a mutual friend bullied Kim into having coffee with her arch-rival Bill. It proved to be a match made in heaven Starbucks!


Following that 3-hour coffee, they tiptoed into a few joint projects, and found that they worked well together, their families got along, and their "power team" was well received by their clients, so they formed the partnership that is now Short Story Marketing. As their business grew, they brought Margie in to help a few years later.

Meet them for yourself! Let's talk!

Bill laughs

Bill Sholar

Resident Geek - He makes it work great

Bill is old, so he has done a lot, including working in military intelligence (save your jokes, he's heard them), and he started working with the Internet long before it was called the Internet. (Back then, they usually called it "@#$%&!", depending on how things were working.)


He later ran college computer centers, was a marketing & sales manager for Steve Jobs' NeXT computer company, managed an IT team at a major oil company in the Middle East, and owned a business intermediary firm.


He started his website business and ran it for the first few years from a boat he refurbished and lived aboard while cruising up and down the East Coast.


One of his original websites, FireCalc® (a retirement calculator), has been repeatedly cited in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and the Dallas Morning News, among many others.


Bill and his wife reside in Front Royal Virginia, where they get to watch their grandkids grow up.

Kim Green

Creative Director - She makes it look great

Just because she's un-tall doesn't mean Kim's bio deserves a short scan. Kim has more talent per foot than any other graphic designer.


After graduating from the Art Institute of Dallas and later winning the printing industry's best of class award for her design work, Kim started working for the family business, which morphed into a graphic design business, and then morphed into the design side of Short Story Marketing.


You can always find Kim in her design bubble, working out, or crafting to satisfy her creative itch.


She and her husband of 20+ years are now empty nesters, living their best life at the beach in Oregon.

Margie is our email fixer!

Margie Baxley

Windows & Email Geek - She keeps you in touch

Margie will actually answer the phone and often get your problem solved pretty much on the spot, while the rest of the team is goofing off in meetings or have their heads buried in projects.


She is our Windows and Wordpress geek extraordinaire, and email fixer when clients need help setting up their phones and computers.


If she could, Margie would live at a lake, and would be working from the dock, feet dangling in the water.


When she's not answering our phone or helping our clients, she is busily trying to overload Facebook's servers with pictures of her grandkids.
