His company has 9 locations across the western US, and employs approximately 300 people. It's one of the larger foodservice equipment suppliers in the US, and has recently made a push to centralizing operations and data.

He says, "The exchange forums have been a huge help to me in quickly getting up to speed on what BIRT can do."
