Art Koenig

CEO Founder, xGEL Data Systems

Art is the founder of xGEL Data Systems. He’s a 1977 graduate of Rice University and is skilled in enough code that he can mess up anytime in multiple ways so has to have real software folks around to keep him from choking himself.

Art’s been a US Army Officer stationed in Germany; a gas compression/production engineer for Exxon Oil Company in South Texas; founder of MDI Labs, an R&D engineering company, and GeoLog. Art holds several patents. Aside from software, engineering, and reading about political and economic philosophy, Art takes long distance rides on his personal watercraft. He’s been married since 1974 to the girl he met in high school. He lives in San Antonio, Texas.
