Meet Our Associates

When we first started in 1990 we were all out of work and there was heavy unemployment. We adopted the BBJ idea of mini-resumes to convey the credentials of our associates and to assist them in finding full time jobs in their field. Our clients appreciated knowing something about these splendid associates who were working so hard in their computer room. It is time now to update the resumes on our veteran associates, some of whom have been with us for over ten years, and to add some new faces. We know you will agree with us when we claim the finest group of computer room cleaning professional associates in the business - period.
