Between 1998 and 2004 Gardner led Cayenta to profitable 46% compound annual growth despite challenging economic conditions that existed during that period. His past experience has taken him through several firms including Canadian Pacific (Interlink), Cryptologic and PWC. In addition he has driven several entrepreneurial opportunities, assuming leadership of a family founded alternative energy company at age 18, and founding his own EDP auditing firm at age 23. Gardner personally installed more than 1000 solar and alternative energy heating systems beginning in the pioneering days of energy conservation circa 1984.

In addition to his charitable Board experience, Gardner is a member of the Board of Directors of Axia Software, Bluetide Management, a past board member for First Geneva Payment Corp., and several other firms.
