Personal Biography

I am an owner and sit on the board of a Georgia based software company, where I also serve as Vice President and General Manager.  I am responsible for all receivables and payables and also negotiate all contracts and agreements for the company.  I also manage the payroll for employees in Atlanta, Texas and Missouri.

Professional Career

After receiving an engineering degree from Auburn University in 1983 I moved to Atlanta and joined a national traffic engineering firm (jhk & Associates).  While there I worked with traffic control systems in cities such as Los Angeles, Denver, and Ottawa.  I developed a graphics drawing package and created displays to allow visualization of traffic flow - speed, occupancy, volume and signalization.  In 1990 I started working for Process Control Corporation, writing embedded software for machine control systems.  I managed a software team, wrote documentation, and traveled to manufacturing plants around the world to evaluate systems.

In 1997 I joined two Georgia Tech graduates to build Advanced Systems Integration, an industrial integration company and began working on a variety of automation projects. During this time I gained experience with HMI/SCADA systems, specializing in remote communication software and Windows device driver development.  We soon developed a Thin Client management software (ThinManager) and at that time began doing business as ACP.  As business grew I handled all financials, contract writing and negotiation, company benefit programs and payroll.

I also help develop and maintain a worldwide distribution channel, have published articles in technical publications, and write a monthly e-mail newsletter that is distributed to over 10,000 people.
