Upon his discharge from the Air force he went on to earn two degrees in Computer Information Systems After College, Flomberg spent about 30 years developing Information Systems as everything from a jr. programmer to a database administrator and a project manager. He consulted at many Fortune 500 companies, He worked for Ross Perot in two companies. He blazed the trail on Quality Assurance and Methodologies. While working in Industry, Flomberg started teaching part time at his Alma Mater, Metropolitan State University of Denver.
