Bio

I have been in the IT field since 1992, and used computers since home computers saved programs on cassette tapes. I am currently the systems implementer and administrator for a large number of enterprise systems, including an enterprise-wide document imaging and management system. We use Laserfiche as our Document solution, and I have been working with that system since 2006.  During that time I have learned a lot about Document management, capture, and imaging systems. I spoke at the Laserfiche Instutute Conference in LA and the AIIM conference in Boston, MA, along with many conferences here in VA. I do not speak for my employer.
