Additionally, he is an avid runner who recently completed the Hartford Marathon with his wife, Melissa. According to Rascoe, "My goals for the next six months are to enable ASA to continue growing despite the current economic conditions, and more importantly to ensure our customers are using technology to enable them to be profitable as well since our growth and success is a direct result of this." Mr. Hawkins has been in the computer industry since 1984 working as a Programmer, Analyst, Project Manager and Architect. He has worked with Progress Software's products since 1998, and has experience in Manufacturing, Warehousing, Distribution and Retail systems. Hawkins worked with Australia Post to develop a Progress based POS system used in Post Offices around Australia.
