I have spent the last 14 years working as the Director of IT for North State Grocery.  North State is a regional grocery store chain with 22 stores throughout northern California.  Prior to North State Grocery, I managed the IT departments at a metal recycler, package delivery service and Gardenburger.  With each of those positions I was responsible for setting the operational budgets and the management of capital expenditure projects ranging from system enhancements/replacements to acquisitions.
