IT Consultant specializing in fitting technical solutions to business needs. I am currently splitting my time evenly between leading the web development team at F.H. Black & Company, and providing industry-leading programming and technical support to the CaseWare Working Papers team. IT is full of exciting challenges, but they're much more interesting when paired with an appreciation for the business domain that motivates them. My goal to continue leading F.H. Black & Company towards an excellence in technology that never loses sight of the dollars and cents.
