Chris MacAskill (looking anti-establishment in photo left) is Co-founder and President of the family owned photo sharing company SmugMug.
Chris MacAskill (father) and Don MacAskill (son) started the original company to build a new video game-oriented web service in February 2002. By August 2002, though, their focus shifted. A small portion of their video game website was spun into a full-blown photo sharing service called SmugMug, which officially launched in November 2002.
Prior to establishing SmugMug, Chris was the founder and CEO of fatbrain.com, which he sold to Barnes and Noble. His son, Don, was the first non-founding employee at Best Internet, where he designed the networks that hosted Hotmail, eBay, and Fatbrain.
