EVALS
CTO & Co-Founder. EVALS helped to ensure successful student development, through efficiency of instruction and consistency of performance expectations during times of initial training.
"The EVALS story" or "perfect wave" as I called it, truly was remarkable and something I love to share. From opportunity chasing us nationwide, to Apple inviting us to present our services to local businesses, it was a Readers Digest startup story.
Note: EVALS was acquired by Praetorian Digital in 2017 (hooray!!!) and I'm therefore no longer an owner or employee.
