About Us

  Ollie Danner (CEO,Co-Founder Page1Listings.com) has a sales and marketing background. Before selling everything from wine and spirits, to hair care for women and shower curtain rings (no John Candy cracks please), he began his Internet career at Supergo (bicycle retailer and online business) in 1995 in Santa Monica, CA. He became the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Technology Officer of this rapidly growing retail, catalog & Internet business. Supergo grew very quickly in the new media environment with online sales at times exceeding $2 million/month. Supergo was purchased in 2001 by Performance Bicycle, Ollie started his consulting business, a web production and Internet marketing company. Over the past 15 years, he has become an expert in web production and online marketing strategies, helping numerous companies achieve their marketing and operational goals. Now he is focused on making Page1Listings.com a leading Internet marketing company, along with his partner Randy.
 
 
  Randy Kirk (President,Co-Founder Page1Listings.com) is motivated by the Henry David Thoreau quote "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."
