  1. Dennis Bottjer Solutions Architect April Dunnam Lead SharePoint Consultant/Developer Building Public Web Sites With SharePoint Online

  2. Introductions April started her career as an IT Intern at Cherokee Casino. It was there she found her niche and a passion for design & development and began to focus her efforts on asp.net development, c# and SharePoint. She went on to complete dual degrees in MIS and Marketing from Northeastern State University and got a job at a telecommunications firm where she worked her way up to SharePoint Developer. Several years later, April was invited to join the ThriveFast team as senior consultant.  April is dedicated to continual self-improvement. She is constantly reading up on the latest technologies & career publications and routinely participating in professional conferences including Tech Fest & SharePoint Saturdays.

  3. Introductions Dennis started his career, years ago, as a help desk professional for an architecture firm and experienced, first hand, the struggle of small business & technology. Through that experience and his education in MIS at OU, he gained a keen skill as a developer & a passion for designing business applications. Over the course of 10 years, Dennis moved on to work for several corporations and Fortune 500's like Bank of America, leading teams to develop SharePoint & custom software solutions on a much larger scale. Today, Dennis spends the bulk of his time consulting with ThriveFast's diverse clients. Occasionally, he'll take the night off to attend or speak at a conference or event like 'SharePoint Saturdays' or to read a good book.
