President
Lee Williams founded Capitol Scientific in 1963, never imagining the business would span multiple generations. His grandson, Felix Ware, joined the company in 1990 and ran sales and operations for ten years before purchasing it from Lee in 2000. Under Felix’s ownership, Capitol Scientific has grown far beyond what his grandfather built, with much of that growth driven by investments in technology. The company has been named to the Austin Business Journal’s Fast 50 and has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies for several consecutive years. The Austin Business Journal has also honored Felix for his outstanding leadership. More than two decades after taking ownership, Felix continues to build on the legacy his grandfather started over six decades ago.
