History

Established in 2004.

I was an electronics designer, computer programmer, and project manager in Silicon Valley, CA for 30+ years. In moving to Florida, I discovered there was very little computer engineering here. A friend suggested that I could combine technical and sales in the Credit Card Payments industry with good future income.

So I continued Dennis Hassell and Associates as a Florida company with the DBA of NXGen Payment Services. Since then, I re-​branded as Smart Merchant Services to avoid some naming conflicts.

I am now registered with 4 processors and many ancillary service and product providers.

Meet the Business Owner

Dennis H.

Business Owner

Born in Yakima Washington, graduated in 1963 from Eisenhower High School and in 1968 from Washington State University.

Served 4 years as a Captain in The United States Air Force (USAF) being stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. I was the Avionics Engineer on the AGM-​65 Maverick missile program through 1972.

Returned to civilian life in Denver, CO and moved to California in 1977 to work with Amdahl Corporation.

Upon leaving Amdahl, I worked in both small startups and larger organizations, mostly on Hewlett Packard (HP) 3000 computers using the Powerhouse Language.

As that was phased out in the late 1990’s, I was Project Manager on several programs. I then worked for Webvan Corporation until it was closed in 2002. In 2003 we moved to be near family in Bradenton, FL where I worked in computers and then in Merchant Services.
