Initially a developer for network based software applications and communications then product manager for interactive statistical analysis tools used by the top oil/gas companies in the 1970’s-80’s. I formally entered the field of voice communications in 1998 as a pioneer adopter of VoIP technology. My company became a reseller for the first commercially available IP-PBX system (VoIP). During that time I brought to market – HomeGATE, an IP enabled and voice driven internet portal wireless residential phone system. The company then evolved into the area of more general IP based network application solutions (known as Cloud Computing) with emphasis on Google Apps and related software offerings.
