The builder
Experience that stays practical.
Eli brings 20 years of experience in the IT sector, beginning with seven years in the U.S. Army.
His Army assignments took him to New York, Germany, and Iraq. That background shaped the way he works: stay adaptable, solve the problem in front of you, and keep the people depending on you informed.
