I started my career in the litigation support industry in 1993 as a document coder. Imaging and coding were "bleeding edge" technologies at the time. Over the past 16 years, I have been blessed to work with some of the finest minds in our industry. When I look back to those early days and compare the tools that we had (DOS 5 and screaming 286/20 computers) to the power of applications that are in the marketplace today, I am continually amazed.
In light of today's economy, I consider myself to be blessed to working in an industry where success is still determined by how hard one works and how well one treats the client. From my early days in production to my current business development role as Regional Vice President for Inventus, I have always believed that if you deliver what you promised... on time and on budget... you are only half way there. The other half of the job is to learn as much about the industry as you can (most importantly the services and software that you're NOT using) so that when a client has a question, you can give them the right answer... even if if means sending them directly to your competition from time to time.
