Jerry Durgin CEO & Founder

Jerry didn't come from Silicon Valley. He grew up on a farm and ranch just outside Murdo, South Dakota, a small, historic cowboy town where the pace of life was set by the seasons, not by venture capital timelines. As a boy, he rode horses to a one-room country schoolhouse, the kind of upbringing that teaches self-reliance early. So he built it himself. D-Ware is entirely self-funded. No outside investors, no corporate backing, no boardroom shaping the vision. Just one inventor, a farm-raised work ethic, and a genuine belief that powerful tools shouldn't be reserved for companies with the biggest advertising budgets. It's why Jerry insists, in his own words, that DWare will always remain available to small businesses and tourist attractions, not locked away as proprietary technology the way similar systems are at places like Disney World. That's the whole story: a rancher's kid who was a computer programme on the apollo moon mission, and decided small businesses deserved the same kind of magic.
