Over the years his feedback as a customer always made us better. I can’t wait for him to be on the inside so we can truly develop our Life Sciences product to be the go-to software for the industry.”

“I have had a strong passion and support for the IndySoft software tools and company for the past 17 years and I am very excited at the prospect of adding value to the team,” noted Nowocin. “I am so blessed to have had two wonderful careers with the United States Marine Corps and with Medtronic, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to pursue my dream third career with IndySoft.”
