About the C/F Data Team

Dennis began his business career at IBM after graduating from Boston College. During his five years at IBM, he received an MBA from Babson College. Dennis left IBM to become a principal in a facilities management company that ran the IT departments of several mid-size businesses. In 1979, he founded C/F Data Systems. C/F Data was engaged in general program development and consulting in its early years, at the same time that the company developed a software solution for the construction industry. Dennis has been involved in all functional areas of the company and continues to be a guiding force in helping to shape its direction.

​

Dennis participates in several community activities, including SHINE-Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Elders, Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Boston By Foot. He is an avid golfer and is on the Board of his Golf Club. Dennis and his wife Ann reside in Saco, ME and Naples, FL where they enjoy their water front living. They have two daughters and two grandsons.

Eric graduated from Bentley University in 1983 with a degree in Marketing Management. He began his sales career at ADP, where he was exposed to accounting system sales and a number of industries. In 1985, he joined the C/F Data System sales department and was quickly promoted to Vice President of Sales. In 2003, he left the company to pursue an opportunity to sell Timberline software with a local distributor. Eric was hailed as one of the top producers in the Timberline channel. In 2008, he joined Textura, another company with software products that complement the construction industry. After seeing how other companies operate and treat their customers, Eric realized what he had at C/F Data and returned as its President.

​

Eric is active in many trade associations including the Construction Financial Management Association and the Associated Subcontractors of Massachusetts. Born and raised in Massachusetts, he is an avid cyclist and skier and plays on several softball teams.

When not working Marilyn can be found in one of three places, the golf course, the bowling alley, or her sewing room.
