I joined ACC in 1998. I accepted the challenge of going from working for a large corporation to a small business with a handful of employees at the time. I soon learned that I joined a team of smart and committed people, many of whom still work at ACC.

After learning what services ACC provided clients and discussing IT trends with other ACC employees, I started our website development services. As is still part of ACC culture, the first thing we did was create a website for ourselves and learn what works and what doesn’t before implementing it for our clients. As business grew, we brought on new web development talent and integrated our database developers into the new development services department. One of the other strategic decisions we made early on was not to commit to only one vendor. Had we been entirely tied to Novell in the late 1990s, things may not have turned out as well as they did.

Business strategy is a passion of mine. One of my favorite things to do is to strategize with our clients and teammates. Learning our clients’ business needs, strengths, weaknesses, and vision allows us to provide IT-based guidance and solutions that will help improve their organization. Over the years, we’ve created, researched, and implemented many solutions that have increased productivity, enhanced our clients’ growth, and generally improved their business/organizational processes.

Early on, I learned that flexibility and learning new technology are key to success in our Industry. Today, as things continue to change and the Internet of Things becomes increasingly important, I’m excited to be part of our cloud services, development, and sales and marketing teams. I’m proud to be part of a company that is innovative, collaborative, and truly cares about the people who work here and the clients we serve.
