About SqlinSix
When I was in 4th grade, I completed a science fair project that compared batteries. I measured how long batteries lasted and included the cost per minute. At the time of the contest, I favored one of the batteries personally because of humorous marketing. That favorite battery of mine didn't last the longest, nor was the best cost per minute.
From this project, I learned to put aside my personal view of things and measure as precisely as possible. I did not win first place in the science fair. I mailed each battery company a hand-written letter showing a summary of my findings (including hand-drawn graphs and tables!). One of the battery companies replied with a letter, a toy, and some free batteries. I fully admit that in 4th grade, a toy beat a blue ribbon.
This early project started my journey in data. I learned that if I had a question, I could create a test, measure data, and come to my own conclusions. While I didn't know it at the time, this project later helped me quickly see the inaccuracy of many inflation measures. Since 4th grade, I have continued doing my own research as well as completing data and research project for clients.
In 2009 I began the largest study on the Millennial demographic at the time and completed the study in 2011 with predictions. For the next few years, I spent time speaking about marketing to the Millennial generation based on the data and analysis I had done. These data became the basis of my actuarial theories that I have applied with insurance data services. This early research also provide early insight into talent management and leadership.

Our Founder
SqlinSix started as a YouTube channel that our founder used to catalog problems and solutions. To our founder's surprise, the YouTube channel began to grow in popularity early in its history. Our founder later expanded the YouTube channel to include series about high level technical thinking involving development, data and security (a few of these videos remain public for people to view).
Today, SqlinSix still assists some companies with technical solutions, such as database administration, data-oriented development, and some physical security needs. SqlinSix is one of the only firms in the world that specializes in physical data creation and maintenance.
SqlinSix is not owned by private equity. As a family-owned business, SqlinSix prefers to do business with smaller businesses with rare exceptions.
