What is the best thing about Resource Data for you? 
Resource Data empowers their employees and allows you to tailor your career based upon what your career goals and personality are. It is very rare to find a company who understands and cares about their employees to that level of detail.
What is your favorite thing about the Resource Data office?
The people. There are a lot of people in the Houston branch that I would consider friends who I could call when I am in a bind, have a question or just want to hang out with outside of work.
What is your role/responsibilities at Resource Data (not job title)?
I am an Account Manager and Project Manager. I also wear a technical hat and provide solution architectural guidance and development expertise for anything data related.
How has Resource Data benefited your career?
Resource Data has provided me opportunities to wear multiple hats from a business and technical perspective that you may not get anywhere else. If an employee wants to be more involved in something at Resource Data, and makes it known, there is a good chance that you will be afforded the opportunity to shine.
What has been your favorite project at Resource Data? Why?
I’ve spent roughly 3 years at J. R. Simplot Company, which is a global agribusiness company. When I first started at Simplot, I was just a Senior Programmer on a specific project. I now manage the entire account, all projects for the account and still do a little dev work! Every day I learn something new at that client.
What was your job before you joined Resource Data?
Prior to join Resource Data I worked as a Senior Consultant for a larger consulting firm called Capgemini USA/Sogeti.
What do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?
I spend my spare time with my 1.5yr old daughter and my wife doing small children activities. I also like to hunt, fish, golf, ski/snowboard,  swim and barbeque.
What can you not live without?
I thoroughly love the Mexican/Latin cuisine. I love eating some chips and queso and drinking it down with a swirl margarita!
What inspires you?
My family and friends inspire me to grow and be as successful as I possibly can in life and in my career.
