work at AAMVA and with its member states' motor vehicle administrations, and
brings to the company the critical perspective of someone who has worked for
years on developing and implementing tools to ensure the integrity of the state
driver license - the de facto ID card in the United States. We believe that his
knowledge and skill base in this sector will contribute significantly to our
board."
