Michael is now a US citizen

Hi everyone
I thought I would let you all know that last Friday afternoon in Nashville I took the oath to become a citizen of the United States. This is such a privilege and honor for me and something I have been looking forward to for quite some time, ever since I first started coming here for business way back in 1994.

I emigrated to the United States in 1999 while working for Logitech as their world-wide manager of business intelligence. Within a few months of my arrival I met Darlene and we were married within the year and have been together ever since.

We moved to Tennesses 5 years ago when we formed Armstrong-Smith Consulting and bought ourselves a small ranch so that we could enjoy the fine weather and get away from the hustle and bustle of consulting when time would allow. If you would like to see a few photographs of our place you can find them here on the About Us page of our website.
