EXHIBIT 31.1

                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

         I, Roy E. Crippen, III certify that:

         1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-QSB of Digital
            Fusion, Inc.;

         2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
            statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
            necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of
            the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
            misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

         3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
            financial information included in this report, fairly present
            in all material respects the financial condition, results of
            operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for,
            the periods presented in this annual report;

         4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are
            responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
            controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
            13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:

         a)       designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)       evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                  controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and procedures as the end of the period covered by this report
                  based on such evaluation; and

         c)       disclosed in this any change in the registrant's internal
                  control over financial reporting that occurred during the
                  registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
                  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
                  reporting; and

         5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have
            disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
            control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors
            and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or
            persons fulfilling the equivalent function):

         a)       all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design or operation of internal control over financial
                  reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report
                  financial information; and

         b)       any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
