Rob Stewart co-founded The Quality Group in 1992 and ever since, he has been the driving force behind the TQG's proven leadership at delivering innovative and compelling e-Learning solutions for business, organizations and communities. Rob is a particularly strong advocate for blended learning. He firmly believes that "if the e-Learning does not set-up better human interaction, don't do it!'

Prior to The Quality Group, Rob advanced through numerous sales, marketing and management positions at IBM, and held senior leadership positions at a bank software start-up and a multimedia training company. Beyond Quality and e-Learning, Rob volunteers with a range of youth programs and as an avid athlete, he has finished the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon-twice. Rob is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Emory University with a BA in Economics and is a leader in AeA, ASTD and ISSSP.

Dan oversees e-Learning development and customization. He does extensive hands-on authoring, and his skills include graphics, digital video and animation, as well as sound and web design. When asked about his career, Dan comments, "If you had told me 20 years ago, when I was at the University of Georgia, getting a BS in Finance, that I'd be part of the e-Learning revolution, I would have just laughed. But my non-tech background keeps me grounded in real-world needs."

Refugee aid has taken Dan to several foreign countries to work with people in need due to political or religious persecution. He has achieved the rank of Nidan in the Japanese Martial Arts Aikido and co-founded a school in Atlanta.
