SHREWSBURY, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 01/31/14 -- Wayside Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG) today announced that Steve DeWindt has been appointed to Wayside's board of directors.

"Steve DeWindt has an exceptional executive track record in the software industry," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With his experience in high growth stage companies, we expect that Steve will add great value to our company as we continue our trajectory of growth and development."

Steve DeWindt's executive management and global sales experience spans more than three decades.
