who we are

Hello! We are Michael and Nicola, and we share a love for efficiency, logic, the outdoors, teaching, laughing, serving, and learning.  After Nicola completed her Ph.D. in applied statistics and Michael earned his Master's in Data Science, we started a mom-and-pop data consulting company designed to serve our local community. Nicola's expertise with statistical consulting and data science education complements Michael's skills in computer science and data management. We both draw from our experience as teachers to make results clear and understandable to a broad audience.
