Aud Consulting Service
In 1980 as Junior in high school I was presented opportunities where I
was providing programming services for small businesses. This sideline
business created a need to be able to bill for my services. After
writing and being paid to write a Grade Point Average calculation
program for my previous high school I had gained the required skills to
gather requirements and develop solutions that meet the needs of the
client.
To gain clients I associated myself with a few small computer stores in
the Southern California Area. These stores provided my services both to
new customers after the purchase of a new computer system and to provide
formal training sessions on various computer topics. At this time Apple
Computers both in the form of the Apple II and Mac were all the rage.
These engagements allowed me to meet a number of people whom are either
new to computers or have problems that they need assistance in
solving.
Aud Consulting Service was truly a one man operation. I travelled to my
clients site and provided customized services to meet the needs of the
client. Some of the engagements involved personalized training and other
involved creating very complex CRM and billing programs.
This operation remained until the 1990's when it was transformed into a
new firm "Computer Price Club".
