Lois Avigdor, Programmer, B2BGateway.Net

I grew up in a very small town in Minnesota, but I have moved around a bit since becoming an adult. First, I moved to New Jersey and would go into NYC every weekend to see plays on Broadway. Soon, I moved to New York City where I lived for 10 years, during which I got married and had two boys. I loved the excitement of living in the city. Then we moved to Massachusetts and now we live in Rhode Island.

Children: My sons and I spend our free time, volunteering for a local theater company. My son, Sami, is acting in his first production which just opened April 1st. My son David helps backstage and by selling tickets.

Pets: We have a dog, Buddy that brings joy and excitement to our home. He is very special and we all love spending time with him.

Hobbies/Interests: I spend lots of time walking on the beaches of Rhode Island. I enjoy just being by the water, I find it very peaceful and relaxing.

Music: I really do not have a favorite genre or type of music. I like lots of different types of music. I love to listen to books on CD. Since I love to read but have a hard time finding the time.

Favourite Food: I love Italian and French food especially when I go out to eat. I also love seafood and fish; luckily Rhode Island has lots of fresh fish.

Approach to work: I used to work in the clothing industries, importing ladies sportswear. I would follow production and visit factories in many different countries. I got the opportunity to travel to China, Hong Kong, India, Egypt and Turkey. During that time I also used EDI as a customer. Because of my previous experience, using EDI, I think I can better understand our clients’ point of view. As a programmer now with B2BGateway.Net I try to make the EDI experience as simple as possible for our clients. I hope to make their EDI experience a helpful business tool and a positive experience.
