To Troy's enthusiastic demeanor in his role at CERL he simply says, "I definitely found the right job for me."
As for his specific duties at CERL, Troy oversees the technological needs and direction of the center.
When he is not keeping an eye on the general ship, Troy lives in the trenches alongside the other developers designing, developing, and enjoying his own body of project-work.

Research Technologist
CERL is wildly fortunate to have attracted the eye of James "Jed" Daily ( email ).
It is often said that timing is everything and our finding Jed when we did surely lends support to that credo as he was coming out of a long-term research assignment just as our position opened.
In his cover letter in applying for the job, he said that he felt his training and experience to date had oddly prepared him for this very position.
In reviewing his undergraduate work in computer science and his subsequent law degree from our own institution, it would be hard to argue that Jed is anything but a near-perfect addition to our arsenal of talent.

Research Technologist
George Sessen marks another extraordinary find for CERL.
George has a long record of problem-solving in a varied set of situations and brings a keen and mature eye to our endeavors.
His innovative insights sprinkled (and sometimes fully ladled) into our solutions surely amplifies the potential of our work.
A popular movie once said of an expert-hand, "this fellow has forgotten more about this subject than you or I will ever know."
George's body of experience teeters on this level of expertise and as I said earlier, CERL is most fortunate to have the use of his gifts.
