Charles Gucker founded One Step Consulting in April 2003 and has run it since. His work is the network engineering the rest of this site describes: carrier selection and peering, BGP policy and route filtering, network design and documentation, and the monitoring and out-of-band access that keep a network running when something breaks.

He maintains the BGP Community Guides, the public collection of provider communities that operators have used for most of the company’s history, and he writes everything published on this site under his own name.
