"Epigram Consulting was birthed from the needs of individuals and small business owners who reached out to me and asked me for help with their businesses. These owners were good at what they did but were lost when it came to implementing certain business strategies and structures. Because of my background in business and information technology, they came to me for help, believing that I could assist them with their problems. After working with me and seeing results, these business owners kept coming back for more advice. Epigram Consulting kick-started and became a company that helps individuals and small businesses create and grow."
