Hall, 37, formerly served as President and CEO, as well serving on the Board of
Directors, for Family Merchants Bank, a $50 Million commercial bank previously
located in Cedar Rapids. Hall originally moved to the Iowa City area in 2004
when he spear-headed the founding of First American Bank, Iowa City. His skill
evolved the "start-up" location, growing assets from zero to $30 Million in less
than 36 months and turning the new location stable and profitable within 5
months of inception. Hall, with the help of a strong team of professionals,
quickly turned First American Bank into a recognizable and respected bank
amongst business leaders throughout the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridor. With an
extensive background in Business, Accounting and Finance, he has been a
consistent leader in business endeavors over the course of his career. An
Eastern Iowa native, Hall resides in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids Corridor with
his wife, Jennifer, and three daughters. 

TMone co-founders John Burchert and Anthony Marlowe commented, "We are very
pleased to have Jason Hall join our executive team and partnership. He has
proven he possesses the skills and knowledge to maximize profitability, further
strengthen our platform to lead TMone beyond ten million in annual revenues, and
facilitate acquisitions while keeping us nimble. His track record in similar
endeavors has been more than impressive not only in regard to finance, but in
overall customer satisfaction and will serve to enhance value for TMone in the
years ahead." 

TMone continues a trend of strong growth despite a negative economic climate. As
one of Iowa`s fastest growing companies TMone continues to provide employment
opportunities when most businesses are reducing their employee size. Because the
growth of TMone is directly attributable to its exceptional employees, a unique
wage progression plan and a salary based pay structure are in the near-term
plans for inside sales personnel that work on behalf of its Fortune 500
accounts. 

"It is a testament to the results we provide to our clients and the quality of
our management team that we have been recognized by Inc. Magazine for the 3rd
consecutive year. I congratulate the entire TMone team on a feat that only a
few, elite companies accomplish. TMone`s continued success is due to remaining
nimble, leveraging new technologies, and focusing additional resources on fewer,
long-term partners vs. many clients. TMone will continue to provide world-class
CRM services and bridge the gap between the traditional outsourced models and a
captive environment. The level of growth and success which TMone has attained in
such a short period of time is amazing," stated Hall. "I am honored for this
opportunity to join an incredible team and, together, continue the exceptional
accomplishments that have come to be synonymous with TMone." 

TMone provides services to the retail, utility, telecommunications, software and
financial services sectors.
