State of South Dakota Archives: on Technology


Jay Williams: Degree in Computer Science; founded high-tech company

In addition I was able to work in the burgeoning technology industry. After the Peace Corps I returned to college to earn a Master of Science degree in Computer Science. This training gave me the tools I needed to earn a living and to support and raise a family. After working in the tech industry in Texas and California, Carol and I longed for the strong community and wonderful people that we knew were present in South Dakota. In 1987, Carol and I moved our family to Yankton, South Dakota and started a small business called Excelltech Inc. It was the best move I have ever made and we have lived here ever since. During my years in Yankton I have been involved in the community in a variety of ways, from performing in local theater productions to serving on volunteer boards to most recently performing duties as an elected member of the Yankton School Board.
