TRS Project Management Solutions was founded by Rick Haywood and Terry Joaquin two very well respected senior-level professionals with a combined 40+ years’ experience in management, consulting and process improvement analysis with a variety of for & not for profit, government and Fortune 100 companies. 

Terry and Rick's expertise are accomplished practitioners in Program & Project Management, Strategic Planning, Requirements Management, Release Management, Business Process Reengineering, Change Management, and Employee Development.

Rick and Terry saw a great need for higher turnaround with clients and projects. In the past they discovered that they had huge start-up costs trying to bring in new employees and contractors. And wanted to come to a resolution that would allow for great flexibility while still lowering costs and training time. They began researching different options and came to the realization that virtual staffing would allow their clients to not only be more productive, but cut office staff, cut funding on projects, and allow for greater flexibility when staffing certain positions.

Through their findings, they hired and management a team of "virtual" employees that not only met their project management and coordination needs, but helped them free up much needed and valuable time to take on more clients and enjoy more flexibility when completing important steps such as charter creation, data analyzing and mining, project coordination, meeting minutes and attendance, and much sought after excel worksheet creation and analysis.

Seeing what a great tool virtual staffing has been for their own needs, they brought on a virtual staffing expert, Stacey Wockenfuss, who has 10 years experience working in the the virtual assisting, internet marketing and expertise arena. She plays an important role helping to manage and train new hires and as well as making Terry and Rick's staff available for their clients and offering professional virtual project management coordination and services to clients with the same needs and growth oriented mind set as their own.
