What was your biggest struggle along the way? How did you overcome it? Managing personalities! Who says I have overcome it? Best thing that has helped me is to surround myself with people that are smarter than me, listen to their ideas, thoughts, and concerns and do whatever I can do each day to make them succeed.

Please tell us why you have made ECS your company of choice: I have now worked with three consulting firms in my professional career. Hands down, ECS has provided me with the most support, mentoring, and training from both a technical and business development perspective. Unlike other consulting firms whose upper management guards their clientele, ECS encourages and supports all staff to be a direct contributor to our clients’ success. Within ECS, career opportunities abound!
