Ken Underwood

Ken Underwood is a entrepreneur, and the founder of Strategic Interactive Holdings Corp., a Ponte Vedra Beach-based company that specializes in interaction-based online businesses. Underwood has established several business ventures across the United States. In 2003, Ken created another company, the National Safety Commission which became the largest online traffic school in the United States. In 2007, the company was listed by Inc Magazine as the second fastest growing education company in the United States. In the state of Florida and several other states, if a person receives a traffic ticket, the law allows the offender to attend traffic school to keep points from the ticket off their DMV records. By providing easily available online services, Underwood tapped into this niche segment which turned out to be a lucrative business.

After the success of The National Safety Commission, Underwood created other related ventures, and expanded into the music and music marketing industry through the launch of StereoFame.com, where bands compete against each other online for points and prizes. While nearly 50% of the music on the site is completely free and no advertising is accepted, Stereofame generates revenue through song sales and premium subscriptions. It currently has over 30,000 members and showcases music from over 10,000 artists. The site is an official honoree at the 13th annual Webby Awards in 2009.
