Thomas L. DiStefano III 
CEO / Chairman

Thomas L DiStefano III is Chairman and CEO of Perfect Web Technologies, Inc. an Internet marketing and technology firm that he founded in 1997 in Boca Raton, Florida. A serial entrepreneur Mr. DiStefano's interest and fascination with the digital world grew out of his experience as a merchant banker and stock broker and his need to understand, grasp and utilize the Internet to grow his business.

Born and raised in East Hampton, Connecticut, Tom, the eldest of 8 children, always knew he wanted to own and operate his own business. From mowing lawns, painting houses and short order cooking as a teenager, he taught himself how to do things and started up businesses by leveraging his skills and energy to engage others; a sustaining theme throughout his life.

A Who's Who All-Star point guard at East Hampton High School and later in college, Tommy D, as he was known then, graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University after discovering and immersing himself in economics. Later in his career he earned Series 7 and Series 63 certifications.

In 1980, after a life altering cross-country "Vision Quest", he worked as a deep-sea fisherman in Southern California. By 1982, he returned to Connecticut with a wife and son and leveraged his love of Italian cooking to open a chain of extremely successful and popular pizza restaurants in college towns called Gina Marie's, which he sold in 1986.

Moving to Florida, he worked as chef in several restaurants but he yearned to use the profits to expand his knowledge of business and markets. He opened Gina Marie's Frozen Pizza using recipes and techniques he previously invented. They were sold throughout Florida by Xtra Superfoods.

In 1990, he became a stockbroker with Chatfield Dean. By January 1993, Tom opened his own firm called TLD3 Investment Group where he experimented with early digital communications to grow his banking and brokerage business. Frustrated by technology vendors, he taught himself HTML and Java Script in order to launch www.theuptick.com, an e-mail marketing system designed to introduce stock offerings.

In the course of developing this pioneering website and e-mail application, Tom began to imagine the possibilities for sophisticated, interactive digital communications and marketing. Over the next several years he invented and patented seminal business processes that are cornerstone elements of Internet marketing, as we know it.

In parallel he evolved his technology business following the first Web boom by experimenting with or developing an array of new technologies. Tom founded Sticky Web, Inc., the predecessor to Perfect Web Technologies, Inc., in 1997.

In 2006, he began a carefully planned series of acquisitions to create a vertically integrated Internet marketing and technology organization capable of competing globally. EResources of Ahmedbad, India, a list and database management company was added to the company roster.

Combining the skills and resources of the Company's divisions with his patents and his operational experience from Sticky Web and The Uptick, Tom transformed the company into its current incarnation - Perfect Web Technologies - and invented a new ASP protocol to simplify and accelerate the use of e-mail marketing for a broad range of mid-size and small businesses. Additionally, Tom has invented new technologies in the e-mail marketing space which will be introduced in early 2007.

Thomas L. DiStefano III is married to Rebecca, an attorney, and they live in Boca Raton, Florida with their son Roman Gabriel, age 3.
