He is the chief of service delivery and operations at the FPAC Business Center, which provides IT operations support to the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service and Risk Management Agency.
Sheridan will bring to NetImpact his more than 25 years of government service, which includes time as chief information officer of the USDA RMA.
