In 1994, I created Gateway One Consulting to contract my skills and offer opportunities for other technology experts in the field. From fiscal years 1996 to 2017, Gateway One Consulting was an approved IT Vendor in the state of Texas. During those years I simultaneously operated the business while securing my own contracts for services with various Texas state agencies and in the private sector. We employed 55 Information Technology professionals (employees and sub-contractors) and served 14 Texas state agencies.
