Message from Founder &
Executive Director

I was what today calls an "early adopter" starting with a Casio pocket computer in the 90s while travelling Asia so I could have immediate access to pricing and costs when I met with clients and distributors as the Global Sales and Marketing Director at PMC Specialties Group (Sherwin Williams). I carried that passion (and dependence) for technology into my teaching career. However, at some point, the technology outpaced our adoption risking our efficiency and fidelity.
