My heritage in Buffalo extends generations, beginning with my Great Grandfather, Dr. W. J. Knebel, who was the Town Doctor. Following in those footsteps was my Grandfather, Dr. John Knebel. My Father, John D. Knebel was born in Buffalo to Virginia & Dr. John, and later moved to Helena, Montana, where my brother, John L. Knebel and I were born.
Brother John moved back to Buffalo in the early 1990s and purchased Knebel Body & Paint, successfully growing the business through 2014. In 2014, my wife, Rebecca and I decided to return to my roots here in Buffalo, finalzing our move in 2015.
In addition to the Knebel side of the family, my Mother, Kitty Merrill is from Buffalo and is one of the most successful Realtors in the area; my grandparents on that side were Leon and Lucille Rich, who lived the majority of their lives in Buffalo as well.
I started Knebel.Net, LLC in 2004, in Charlotte, North Carolina, and moved the core business here to Buffalo in 2015, finding that Buffalo residents and business owners have a strong thirst for the latest technologies for attracting locals and tourists to their services. Prior to 2004, I developed web and desktop software for personal clients and through professional employment, beginning in 1996.

KM, Buffalo, WYIn 2015, Michael and Rebecca Knebel relocated Knebel.Net and Logistics Logic Inc. from the Charlotte, North Carolina area to Buffalo.
In 2010, I expanded my service portfolio to include mobile app development, becoming one of the pioneers for mobile access.
In 2009, I expanded hosting capabilities, offering more services across multiple data centers for higher redundancy and disaster-preparedness. Essentially, it was the "cloud" before it became mainstream.
In 2006, I released my first production-forecasting and vendor-managed inventory system. This system essentially assisted in providing statistical and trend analysis for manufacturing & product storage / fulfillment. The sofware made data available allowing projections of customer demand, and predicting optimal batch-run quantities, based on existing production & setup cost tiers .
In 2005, I completed development of a proprietary programming/development framework, allowing data-driven websites to be created within "days", versus the industry-standard "months".
Combining this framework, I re-purposed my code generator to perform 4 hours' worth of code-writing, in 15 minutes. Not only did clients benefit, but I'm able to offer a broader range of services due to the time savings.
In 2004 I formed Knebel.Net, LLC, in order to provide web hosting and design services, in addition to custom programming, for clients small and large, under my own umbrella.
Primarily focusing on the logistics, warehousing, freight & travel instustries, I built a foundation of connecting the dots between web, e-commerce, shipping, warehousing and logistics.
In 2000, I created several code generators, to automate create, update, delete functionality for "any table in a database" were added - anyone could generate code for these functions. Essentially, a robot who writes source code.
In 2001, I was a part of the original team to develop the first commodities exchange, which was the first to offer the capability to trade commodities like stocks, online.
In 1998, I developed software to handle mass-scale pharmaceutical-samples distribution, which included point-to-point shipment tracking and availability for client-based tracking access.
At this time, most companies, including the mega-carriers did not have these capabilities.
In 1996, I graduated from the University of Tulsa with a BSBA in Marketing, and dual minors in International Business and Mass Communications.
Member of the International Club, co-creator of the TU Annual Fund membership/sponsorship drive.
In 1991, I started and successfully ran a painting & building business in Helena, Montana. Painted a historical mansion, executed state contracts and serviced high-end homes.
In 1990, I was the co-founder of K&K Handymen in San Diego, California. Professional fences, painting, woodworking & light building.
