About Rick Thomas

Christian, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Entrepreneur, Programmer… just a few of the titles that describe me.

I am the owner of Computer Images of Pueblo, a website design company based in Pueblo West, Colorado. My company actually morfed into a web design company in 1998. For the previous 8 years I operated a computer retail store in Pueblo and spent 22 years selling and serving personal computer systems.

In that time, I had the great fortune to advise and consult on computer technology to companies such as Federal Express, Martin Marietta, NASA, and many large corporations. I also had clients in just about every small business you could think of. In that 22 years of offering computer systems, I was exposed to almost every facet of business and advised clients on the best practices for using computer technology to enhance their profits and productivity. And of course, I’ve made literally hundreds and hundreds of friends selling personal computer to families in and around Southern Colorado.

Our main emphasis these days is selling websites and providing a property search service to REALTORS® in over 20 states. The industry acronym is IDX, which simply stands for Internet Data Exchange. Our website MLSSoftware.com has been in existence since July 2002. At that point I took a program that I had written for auto dealers and converted it over to allow real estate agents and brokers to let the public search for properties listed in their mls. We provide a service that updates their real estate website on a daily basis.

My first web program was a search engine called LotManager, that I offer to used and new car dealers, motorcycle, rv and boat dealers. It is a simple program that allows these dealers to take photos of their inventory, upload it to their website and provide the details of the vehicle, and automatically they have a search engine that shows their current inventory.

When I’m not stuck behind a keyboard, I can be found playing tennis, shooting pictures with our latest gadget The Canon Rebel XTi, and playing with my kids.
