Founded on Feb. 1, 2000, NetWorld Alliance immediately assumed ownership and operations of ATMmagazine.com. On Sept. 15, 2000, the company introduced ATMmarketplace.com as the industry's newest information and e-commerce resource.

NetWorld purchased kiosks.org in October 2000, and launched KIOSKmarketplace.com in January 2001. It organized the kiosks.org Association in 2001, hosting an organizational meeting in April. In November 2001, NetWorld launched PizzaMarketplace.com. In March 2002, NetWorld formed Church Central LLC with the Rainer Group, a church consulting organization, and launched ChurchCentral.com in May 2002.

NetWorld's officers include Alan Fryrear, chairman; Dick Good, chief executive officer; Tom Harper, president; Bob Fincher, executive vice present for sales; and Craig Keefner, senior vice president and publisher of kiosks.org.

Before founding WaterMark Group in 1995, Fryrear spent 20 years with Duplex Products and later worked 10 years in NCR's Systemedia division. He has more than 30 years' experience in the print communication industry, including custom ATM receipt printing, supplies and bank forms management programs.

In 1999, Dick Good completed a 15-year tenure as president and chief operating officer of NTS Corp., a national residential and commercial real estate development company. Prior to that, Good was first vice president of Third National Bank in Nashville, Tenn. He held several sales, marketing, planning and management positions during 15 years at IBM.

Tom Harper, who joined Watermark Group in 1996 as senior vice president, has led NetWorld's innovative Web development efforts and the company's expansion into new industries. He is a co-founder of both the ATM Industry Association and the ATM Advertising Council, and is the publisher in the company's Church Central venture.

Bob Fincher, former owner of a Web development firm in Tampa, Fla., oversees all sales efforts for NetWorld. He is a former ATM industry consultant, and spent nearly 20 years leading sales efforts for Maytag and Jenn-Air appliances. Fincher owned one of the most successful independent distributorships in the Maytag organization.

Craig Keefner founded kiosks.org in 1993. The Houston native resides in Minnesota, though he spends much of his time in Kentucky and traveling to kiosk events around the world. Following a stint as a digital technician on an offshore seismic exploration vessel, he took on a series of challenging assignments with Northgate Computers, IBM (RF/Cellular & GIS), GCC (Target Stores) and Northwest Airlines. Kiosks.Org became part of NetWorld Alliance in 2000, and Craig agreed to join the NetWorld management team. As executive director of kiosks.org Association, Keefner is a leading voice in the kiosk industry.
