Summary

Doug Edmunds My goal as a seasoned information technology leader is first to understand the needs of the people I am serving; then assemble the most talented team of individuals to execute on a plan for a winning solution. I pride myself not only on remaining flexible and being able to respond quickly to shifting demands when necessary but also on trusting my creative instincts and vision to guide my decision-making process. Keeping a good sense of humor throughout doesn’t hurt either. ————– Jason Gintert I learned how to program in BASIC on a Commodore VIC20 when I was 7 years old and I’ve been enthralled with making technology do cool things since. Entered the technology field via the late 1990s ISP boom and survived to tell the tale. Results driven professional who does not stop until the job is done. I love networking technologies so working with them is not only a profession, but something of a hobby as well.
