Tony Garcia is an owner at PCM Technologies. His interest in electronics started at age 6, building his own circuits, and he first encountered computers in 1979 before taking up programming.
While studying Electrical Engineering in college in 1984, he took a programming class, became hooked on writing code, and switched his major to Computer Science. He went on to write software for the medical industry and the oil field, covering electronic signal processing, medical records, accounting, data collection, and electronic data interchange on Linux and Windows.
The lack of standard support for networks and distributed systems at the time led him into IT. In 1997 he acquired shares from one of his suppliers and IT support sources, and has worked on multiple projects and deployments there since.
