Mr. Mouton’s biography is as follows:
 
Mr. Mouton began his career as the youngest new associate to be hired by a regional trading firm, BCI in Louisiana when he joined its newly formed currency trading group as a commodities agent.  He founded Webnet Marketing Inc. with  Robert Ellis and within the first six  months Mouton purchased Ellis’ interest, and changed the company name to eTool & Die Inc in order to better reflect the company’s renewed focus on the development of network-enabled software tools. In addition to a strong regional client base, national clients developed thereafter included the Wall Street research firm CPM Group, the US EPA in Washington DC, Tulane University, the World Gold Council, Sony Pictures Entertainment and others. In 1999, Mouton was honored by CitiBusiness Magazine as a Power Generation Award recipient. He sold eTool to an investor group, remaining as Chief Executive Officer.  From 1999 to 2002, Mouton founded, bought, spun-off or sold a number of companies, including MicroAdvisors; Custom Design Systems; Baseline Computing; Enterprise Interactive Marketing; BetterClicks; Etool.Net; TechOnsite; GlobaLink Communications; SatVision; HyperChrome Design; and iRev2. He sold off his remaining interest and left the group at the end of 2002. In 2003 he founded Bivium Corp in order to pursue large federal technology contracts; and founded Applied BioScience in 2004 to further develop several emergent modalities of treatment involving tissue regeneration and healing.
 
Since 2002,  Mr. Mouton has provided start-up and strategic growth consulting for MBs in the financial services, science and technology, advertising, real estate, equities, retailing and restaurant sectors. After the award of several multi-million dollar Military telecommunications contracts in 2004 and 2005, Mr. Mouton sold his interests in both Bivium and ABI in early 2006. He has spent the ensuing months consulting with start-up entities, acting as managing director for a small private equity firm, managing a number of real estate development projects and other personal investments.
