About Robb Shirey
I started out as an ACT! user in 1995 trying to keep track of all of my customer information at an accounting firm. Skip ahead to 2013, where i have left the Accounting world and operate TrilogyCRM, one of the largest ACT! Hosting Providers in the nation, and couldn't be happier. I chose ACT!, why don't you?
