In 2008, Belnick reached $42 million in revenue. == History == BizChair.com was created in 2001 by its then fourteen-year-old founder Sean Belnick. With a $500 investment and the advice of his stepfather Gary Glazer, a veteran of the office furniture business, Sean began running BizChair.com out of his bedroom. In 2004, Belnick Inc. moved into its first commercial warehouse space, a facility in Kennesaw, Georgia. Within two years, BizChair's warehouse expanded to a space. In July 2007, BizChair.com relocated and expanded to a facility in Canton, Georgia. The award-winning facility was designed by Atlanta architects Scogin Elam and Bray and once housed the Cherokee Operations branch of office chair manufacturer Herman Miller. In January, 2009, Belnick opened a new division of the corporation with the start of the "Microsites." Microsites feature all of the items in the Canton, GA warehouse as well as many vendor items; however, this division focuses on direct customer service with a staff of customer service reps and sales people who daily deal with customers via phone calls and emails. Several new Microsites have been opened over the past 2-1/2 years specializing in church furniture, school furniture, restaurant furniture, banquet halls, and much more. These divisions continue to grow and offer customers an alternative to high cost items for their organizations. In May, 2009, Sean Belnick graduated from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School and took on a full-time role as BizChair.com’s CEO.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=On A Millionaire List… By Age 25 )〕 In 2010, BizChair.com was Awarded Orion Energy’s Systems’ Environmental Stewardship Award for the company’s reduction in energy consumption using Orion’s lighting platform.
