Founder/CEO – Terry Hookstra

Terry Hookstra, from his humble beginnings, growing up above a bar in Omaha, serving his country in the Navy, and then starting his young career in the computer industry, Terry has always been a forward thinker. For his first entrepreneur journey, Terry created a small computer company. One of his clients was a PEO. After discovering the uniqueness of the PEO industry, he took the challenge of developing a client base for this PEO. After accomplishing this goal, Terry decided to use his entrepreneur skills again and created eEmployers Solutions, Inc. in 1998.
