A Leading IT Consulting Firm

John isn’t just responsible for the solutions we provide to our clients and how we deliver them, he’s committed to developing AE’s talent. As a “backroom nerd” mentored in the art of empathy, John always seeks to build bridges between technology and humanity. Following years in the trenches of dial-up tech-support and enterprise architecture, John has gone on to help build better systems, products, and – most importantly – better people. Forever a student of the universe, John asserts that he never let school get in the way of his education. In his free time, he is an instructor and practitioner of Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art; since 2006, John has had the privilege of meeting and training with civilians, law enforcement, and military personnel from all around the world. Speaking about AE, John says his favorite part of the company culture is, “the kindness with which we treat one another… This base kindness, when combined with the solutes of integrity and competence, is unique.” He jokes that only the Care Bears could rival the AE team’s genuine concern for one another.

Morgan enjoys reading and spends her free time traveling to new places in the company of her husband and cat.

His other passions include a deep interest in military aviation and outdoor activities like road and gravel bike races, advanced scuba diving, downhill skiing, high-performance snowmobiling, and running his offshore powerboat.

Working at an autism clinic doing billing and accounting helped Amy fall in love with the way local, Wisconsin-based companies run – it’s part of what drew her to AE, where she has stayed for the last 16 years. Amy has seen Jimmy Buffett live over 20 times; unsurprisingly, she loves summertime, the beach, attending concerts, as well as being a mom to her boys. Amy’s favorite thing about AE is the people she gets to work with because they make her job so much fun.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Carrie appreciates AE’s Midwest values particularly when it comes to how we engage locally with honesty and integrity.
