Francis Ferreira

Francis developed an early interest in computers out of necessity while working for Stone & Webster as an HVAC engineer. In order to design Energy Analysis programs for a company project, he took it upon himself to learn computer programming. Following the introduction of the personal computer, the focus of Francis’ learning shifted from programming to computer repair and networking as well as formal training in Microsoft technologies. He soon established himself as a trusted technical advisor for IT focus groups and industry partners and founded the Ferreira Group in 1984. Francis continues to be a major contributor to the success story and is professionally consulted on and quoted in various IT industry articles.
