Let’s refactor everything that’s already working so it works as well as the thing that isn’t working once it has been fixed… to improve readability.

Glen Meakem
Founder & CEO
Realizing that there was no way for people to permanently store and share their family photos, videos, and other media in the cloud, Glen launched Forever in 2013. The company has grown rapidly ever since. Glen is an experienced entrepreneur and leader who has founded and built a number of companies, including the widely chronicled and successful B2B ecommerce company FreeMarkets. Glen founded FreeMarkets in 1995, and took it public in a record setting IPO in 1999. At its peak, FreeMarkets had a publicly traded market cap of $13 billion. Glen believes that permanent memory keeping is an unmet and critically important need for tens of millions of people around the world. He is committed to building Forever into a large and successful company, one that is focused on preserving and protecting family stories for generations.

I am a passionate and tenacious front-end engineer. I love web technologies and making things that are useful. I wrote my first line of HTML back in 1992, started doing web development professionally in 2002, and have been riding the wave since. When not at the computer, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, reading, photography, music, playing Ukulele, and a myriad of other interests that I have no time for but still try to do anyway.
I joined Forever because I spent many years as a technophile figuring out how to secure my family's digital memories, and Forever takes all that technical complexity and wraps it up into a great offering for the non-technical. Family history and memories are important, and I am excited to be a part of helping others secure their digital memories for future generations.
