My start as a consultant to businesses on computer systems began in the mid-1980’s. As a long-time member of this profession, I have always worked to raise up the level of ethics and standards of the industry, including actively supporting the Independent Computer Consultants Association (ICCA) in the 80’s.
I have served on the NSITSP Formation Committee since it’s inception Sept 2021, where I was elected vice-chair. The committee transitioned to the Governance Committee in 2022 when I was re-elected to continue to serve. I feel that my experience and background can continue to be a positive force in the growth of the Society.
