Meet The Founder

IncogNET, and later The Internet Speech & Privacy Company, was started by a dude named Curtis. He's a busy but simple guy who thinks more people should care about their privacy and believes that both privacy and freedom of speech are fundamental human rights that need protection and support—online and in real life. Curtis has been involved in the web hosting industry in one way or another through various roles since the early 2000s. When needing a break from the digital world, he disconnects by enjoying the great outdoors—whether that's multi-day long-distance backpacking trips through the forest or a simple walk around town. Other interests include alternative and sustainable architecture, construction and design, minimalistic off-grid living, music, and open source technology. A personal goal of his is to earn his long-distance hiking "triple crown," which is the full completion of the three major American long-trails: the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail—about 8,000 miles combined.
