What’s New at Work

I have passed several certifications and have started contributing more as an ERP consultant.  I really enjoy the life-work balance that working from home provides. I also enjoy the fact-finding missions that being a consultant provides. My transition to CS3 has been much easier with the help and support of my coworkers.

What’s New at Home

My nephew Collin just graduated from the University of Houston with a mechanical engineering degree, so we are a proud family.  I am an umpire for High School baseball, and we just finished the Spring season! We're looking forward to another hot summer here in Houston.
