Software Lost Its Soul — Centergy Brings It Back
Built by a database guy who just wanted technology to make sense again.
Where It Started
For more than 25 years, I watched software get harder for real people to use. I built systems in Microsoft Access and ColdFusion — tools that let one person create something powerful, fast, and human. Then everything changed. The giants took over, and every new version seemed to require a team, a license, and a headache. The soul was gone.
Over those years I built databases and internal tools for companies like Microsoft, Texas Instruments, GTE, Allstate, BankOne, and ESPN. I saw what worked, what didn’t, and what happened when tools that once empowered people became too complex for them to control. Centergy was born from that frustration — and from the belief that software should always make life simpler, not harder.
When AI arrived, I saw a way to restore what we lost. I’m not a programmer — I’m someone who loves making data efficient and non-redundant. With AI as my partner, I started rebuilding the kind of software I always wished existed: user-friendly, intuitive, customizable, and efficient — what I now call UFICE.
Why Centergy Exists
Centergy isn’t just another productivity app — it’s a framework for a balanced life: mental, physical, social, financial, spiritual, and more. It’s built so your actions always connect back to what truly matters. Your layout, your priorities, your pace.
Think of it like listing your favorite foods. The ones near the top show up more often in your daily meal plan. Get tired of one? Just drag it lower. It doesn’t have to be your favorite forever — and Centergy remembers that change. Over time, your history tells a story of evolving tastes and priorities.
That same principle applies across everything you track — goals, habits, ideas, content. When you reorder things, Centergy learns what deserves focus. It’s not about automation taking over; it’s about technology learning your rhythm.
Every piece of Centergy exists to give control back to you. The order you choose becomes the order the system honors. That’s how software should work — around you, not above you.
“Is It UFICE?” — Built to Listen
Centergy isn’t designed in a vacuum. On every page, the real question is: “Is it UFICE?” — is this user-friendly, intuitive, customizable, and efficient for the person actually using it?
The goal is simple: give you a way to say, right there on the page, what would make it more useful for you — and keep that feedback attached to that exact screen. Over time, Centergy learns not just from data, but from voices. The product grows with the people who use it.
A Different Way to Grow
I didn’t want to chase venture capital or build something fueled by greed. Instead, Centergy grows through people — one small circle at a time. My goal is to start with 100 founding members who help refine and expand the system, each able to create their own 100-person circles in the future.
This is franchising re-imagined — a network of leaders running their own masterminds with shared tools, data, and the D.R.E.A.M. framework at the core. Over time, those circles can link into a larger chain of Centergy-based groups, without losing the personal connection. Each leader still knows their people by name and works from real Centergy data, not guesswork.

The Bigger Picture
Centergy is more than a platform — it’s a movement to make software humane again. To prove that digital tools can help people grow without taking their attention hostage. And to show that business can scale with heart, freedom, and integrity intact.
I don’t want fame. I want freedom — and a world where technology helps people become more centered, not more distracted. That’s the real story of Centergy.
