and Associates???

OK, yeah, it's just me, Larry Hubbard. "& Associates" applies when I assemble a team of professionals to bid for and complete a project. "& Associates" also describes several other organizations that I work with or teach for regularly. I guess it also means the two Shelties, Quince and Hydro, because anytime I am working from home, they are right there helping.

The organizations I regularly work with include:

The SANS Institute
