My professional career began as a technical recruiter in Dallas for a startup called Techware, a job that fed my lifelong interest in computers and technology. I loved it! I quickly became the Consulting Services Manager. We were bought by CIBER who assumed our in place management structure. After CIBER, I took an Account Manager position with Robert Half International Consulting (Technology Division), selling and managing consulting services. I moved into the SMB technology consulting market when I joined All Bases Covered, where I met my business partner, Brad Palmer. We opened our own technology and business consulting firm, Map I.T. / I.T. Roadmap, that will celebrate 12 successful years in business in the summer of 2014. It's been a great ride! Map I.T.'s motto is "Straight Answers from Smart People." We provide technology direction and management for SMBs and professional firms around 5 - 100 seats. Our focus is helping leverage in place technology and structuring future technology decisions, an on-call CIO if you will. We manage cloud based solutions, network and data security, build/maintain networks, provide technical support, SharePoint, intranets, pretty much any needed tech related initiative. I began finding customers who would benefit from our services, but as Map I.T., and my tech skills, grew I moved into project and team management as well as implementing technology solutions.I delved into the web with a voracious glee that surprised me! Such a fast paced, ever changing technology was incredibly exciting and fun. For the past 8 years, my side of the business, I.T. Roadmap, has helped customers navigate through the interesting intricacies of Web Presence. Designing websites that look great and really reach people is our primary love but we also immerse ourselves in SEO, SEM, social media, web marketing and reputation. I still enjoy non-web tech too. One of our clients hired me as their IT Manager, a position I've enjoyed immensely!
