For nearly three decades I have served in technology, strategic planning, performance improvement, and business problem solving as well as designing, installing, and troubleshooting networks, computers, and software. My clients have included small and medium sized businesses in such industries as banking and finance, churches, insurance, manufacturing, not for profit, public and private education, publishing, real estate, retail, technology, and warehousing.

"he has provided us with the guidance and leadership to take our network to the next level."- Merl M., IS Director

But it's not all about technology. I love to see the great advances technology has made in recent years — even in recent months — but I don't see those advances themselves as reason enough to use them all now. I help my clients determine when to act in order to get maximum benefit from a given technology. My customers really appreciate knowing that my aim is their success, not just another technology sale.

Thinking Forward intentionally remains small as a business to keep our services within reach of the small and medium sized businesses we are commited to. You are not paying extra for administrators, marketing guys, costly leases, or inventory ...so, you save BIG! You're not getting advise from a guy who's pocketing commission on unnecessary equipment. You just get the valuable assistance you need.

Thinking Forward partners with some of the best and most experienced business and technology professionals available. These alliances allow us to develop solutions that work, whatever the nature of your challenge, without the high costs associated with retaining such skill and experience permanently on staff.

"When presented with a problem or question - Jim not only recommends several options and solutions, but takes the time to research any possible obstacles that may arise from steps taken."- Paul N., I.T.Manager

I am here to be your performance and technology advisor. We are not limited to just fixing your broken computers. The only reason you have computers in the first place is to make your business better: More efficient, more effective, more profitable. I want to help you get the most from your people and from the technology you already have. I can help you know when it is right to make a change.

Here are some of the services I have already provided for my clients:
