Organization
Dave Bair and Tim Carmichael have been friends for over thirty
years and share a common passion for helping people work together
to make the world a little better place in which to live. For
years they discussed the issue of bringing current computer
technology to human services in order to make it easy for people
to communicate and to share important information. In their
literature they use the term “creating the village”, believing
that the health of a community depends upon the health of its
children. Communities convey healthy values to children through
caring relationships. Children grow up healthier when they feel
connected to caring adults. One benefit of computer technology
is its ability to foster communication in real time. Dave and
Tim believe that technology can be applied in ways that can
help “create the village” needed to connect caregivers. GuardianTrac
LLC is dedicated to developing user-friendly products such as
GuardianTrac™ as a way to connect people as efficiently and
easily as possible.
