Dr. Adam Kolawa came to the United States from Poland in 1983 to pursue a Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology. In 1987, he and a group of fellow graduate students founded ParaSoft with the hopes of creating value-added products that could significantly improve the software development process.

Kolawa's years of experience with various software development processes has resulted in his unique insight into the high-tech industry and the uncanny ability to successfully identify technology trends. As a result, he has orchestrated the development of several successful commercial software products to meet growing industry needs to improve software quality - often before the trends have been widely accepted. Kolawa has been granted seven patents for the technologies behind these innovative tools.

Kolawa has contributed to and written commentary pieces and technical articles for various leading publications such as Software Development, Java Report and SD Times. Additionally he has presented on software quality, trends and development issues at industry conferences including JavaOne, Quality Week, Linux Expo and Software Development.

Dr. Kolawa holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the California Institute of Technology. In 2001, Kolawa was awarded the Los Angeles Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the software category.

Joining Autobytel Inc. in January 1999 as CFO, Printer is responsible for overseeing
