I am an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and software developer. In 2001, I founded Vanward Technologies, a professional services company focused on software testing where I served as the company’s CTO and later, the CEO. After Vanward’s acquisition by JNetDirect in 2005; I subsequently served as the CTO of JNetDirect and later as President of Stelligent, a professional services firm providing Agile engineering consulting.
