Jay Gorman

Jay Gorman is an electrical engineer with more than 21 years of experience in the Internet and communications industries. Jay founded his first venture in 1994 – South Texas Internet Connection (STIC.net) – which was one of the first dial-up internet service providers in San Antonio. He sold STIC.net in 2000. Jay also founded Envirosoph Technologies, which provides life-saving flood warning and monitoring systems for low-water crossings on Texas roadways and sells its proprietary equipment and wireless monitoring services to the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and to county and municipal government organizations. Sendero Networks, another of Jay’s companies, provides network engineering and IT service solutions for small business owners in the San Antonio area. Having worked in the wireless telecommunications industry with a regional Motorola equipment dealer, Jay gained first-hand working knowledge of the limitations of fixed wireless broadband Internet access. That experience inspired Jay to explore fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) communications systems and formulate the original business model for Coyote Cable, a small cable company with operations in Comfort and La Vernia, Texas. Coyote Cable evolved into what is today commZoom, LLC with operations in 13 small south Texas communties. Jay earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Technologies from Le Tourneau University in Longview, Texas and is a member of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE). Jay is a native of San Antonio. He and his wife Dawn have three children.
