Jay Strickland’s Summary

Jay Strickland has worked in the area of technology since 1995. He began working in the Web technology field while attending North Carolina State University, where he earned a B.S. in Computer Science. Upon graduation, Jay entered the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a hands-on computer security engineer for the Air Force Information Warfare Center in San Antonio, Texas. Two years later he was reassigned to Colorado Springs, Colo., as the Chief of Web and Database Systems for the Intelligence Directorate of U.S. Space Command/North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

During his second Air Force assignment, Jay formalized his consulting engagements, founding WingSwept Communications, Inc. to specialize in Web design and programming for commercial, educational and nonprofit clients. Having attained the rank of Captain, Jay honorably separated from military service in February 2002 to run WingSwept full-time.

One month after leaving the Air Force, Jay formed WingSwept Technologies, Inc. to work with the U.S. Intelligence Community on various projects dealing with national security issues. The company continues to provide high-end Web technology consulting to government and large commercial clientele in niche markets including portals, enterprise content management systems and data warehousing.

Jay lives in Raleigh, N.C., with his wife and three daughters. In addition to running his companies, Jay serves on the board of several non-profit organizations and church committees. He and his wife, April, teach a Sunday school class for four-year-olds at their church.
