I met the team at el dorado inc while working at Apple. I found a family of talented folks that welcomed me for many years. As an Apple based Architecture firm their needs fully matched my ability.
I was able to design a proper network, deploy an in-house system to track and bill printing, upgrade firm from OS 9 to OS X, introduce the iPhone, develop and manage backup strategy and in-house the proposal making process while providing supporting for users in their day to day activities.

Every time I said el dorado architects .com over the phone I knew there was a better way. When the .us TLD became available I pitched the change over and led the effort to convert and transfer email. I also coordinated this with a major upgrade to Wordpress from Cold Fusion for the site.

As the eldo joined twitter in 2009 through my convincing, I took the opportunity to follow to right people at the right time. Here we were the first follower of Bob Berkebile, the founder of BNIM, at 11 pm on a Thursday.
