Garrett came to Eng Flanders Group in 2017 from Yardi’s commercial implementation team. He brings along his property management software implementation and programming expertise, a natural love for programing and finance, and a formal education in economics, computer science, and accounting.
He fancies himself as the perfect property management software Fixer. In his five years at Eng Flanders he has yet to meet a programming project he couldn't complete. When other implementers and programmers say it can't be done, Garrett says “challenge accepted!”
He jumped at the opportunity to join EFG because it is a fully remote company. It has given him the opportunity to work from 43 different countries from the Hawaiian Islands to the Pyramids of Egypt. After starting in California and traveling all across the world, Garrett recently found he needed to trade in his surfboard for a snowboard when he finally settled down in Prague with his wife.
EFG prides itself on providing a progressive, flexible work environment. We hire for excellence, offer tools for continued learning and professional growth, and allow our staff to thrive both independently and within the framework of collaboration.
Eng Flanders Group understood the urgency of the situation and successfully met the challenge.
