Serving The West Coast Since 2005

As the Office and Accounts Manager I handle purchasing, invoicing, payroll, human resources and everything in-between. My primary goal is to keep your financial transactions with us smooth and efficient. You can reach out to me anytime with all your non-technical questions! Need an invoice copy? Wondering what’s the status of your account? Need to change your address or billing contact? Questions regarding an invoice? I want the excellent experience you’ve had with us technically to continue in all levels of your interactions with CITIG and help maintain the strong foundation of service that sets us apart.

On a California-coastal road trip, I stopped in Santa Barbara and instantly fell in love with the city; my wife and I decided to make the move from Minnesota and start a new chapter. I left my job at MindShift, one of the top 5 IT Services Providers in the country and landed a gig with CITIG. Over three years later I am now the IT Consulting Manager. I have extensive experience on both the front lines supporting all our clients as well as behind the scenes managing a hardworking and knowledgeable team. I‘m always looking forward to how we can continue to provide the absolute best service to our clients and assist them in utilizing technology to their maximum benefit.

Ever since moving to the USA from England in 1989, I have worked as a software consultant supporting clients throughout the South Coast. Prior to joining CITIG, I worked in programming, analysis, customer service and end user training, and was a consultant with Van Buren Consulting for 25 years. I am a Sage Timeslips Certified Consultant qualified to handle all your billing needs. From installation to conclusion, I will customize the time and billing system best for you whether it be bills in the mail, PDF bills to email to clients or electronic billing. I also offer customization of Microsoft Office and training in both Word and Outlook.

I am an undergraduate psychology student and proud to be part of the CITIG team! My role at CITIG is to keep business and office life running smoothly. Whether it’s receiving payments from our clients or keeping the staff organized and caffeinated, you can find me fostering a healthy, fun work environment for our team as well as supporting our community involvement. In addition, I am in charge of CITIG’s online presence, social media, and marketing. I love working with our talented and caring staff to keep your home and business technology up and running!

In 1985, I started Van Buren Consulting and for nearly 30 years have supported clients throughout Santa Barbara and the neighboring areas. In 2014, with the goal of not only continuing to provide excellent services in a fast-changing technological world, but also expanding our range of offerings, we joined forces with CITIG. Since then, I have enjoyed being able to utilize the CITIG team for technologies and solutions that we were not able to previously offer. Additionally, as I enjoy retirement I’m comforted knowing that CITIG has a quality team in place to continue supporting our clients.
