Who's Behind the Product?

Everything started out in the 1980's with Allen Stoltzfus, who was trying to study a foreign language. Distressed at his experience he wanted to develop a program that used computer technology plus his self study program. Sharing his idea with his best friend and brother-in-law John Fairfields who has ha Ph.D. in computer science, this became a family venture with Eugene Stoltzfus becoming president of the company. Together they came up with the Rosetta stone software. The company was eventually sold to ABS Capital Partners and Norwest Equity Partners where it was renamed Rosetta Stone.
