About


Once upon a time some things were hard to cross, making one’s efforts to reach a certain destination difficult. Then we created bridges, and the unattainable became reachable. Today, Carson is providing bridges to better IT, helping government reach new heights through planning, security, application solutions and analytics. Reach out and let us show you the bridge we can build together.


Richard S. Carson & Associates (Carson Associates) was founded in 1979 to provide management consulting and information security services to private and government organizations. Over the years we have served Civilian and Defense Department agencies, State and Local governments, and private corporations in the healthcare, finance, education and insurance markets.

We are proud of our 30-plus-years providing innovative solutions to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency through program management and governance support, cyber-security services, software application development and business analytics.

While we are proud of our long history, what makes us even happier is long relationships. We have devoted ourselves to being “very” good at each service we provide, but we also work “very” hard to make sure the journey we take together to produce results for your organization is one you will enjoy. Our entire team, starting with each Carson executive, is accessible to every customer all the time. We will reach out to you, and sincerely hope you reach out to us. Allow us to introduce ourselves: Richard S. Carson - CEO, Donna Ruginski - COO, Diane Reilly - VP Consulting and Robert F. Schildwachter - CFO.


We are proud to be one of Americas Veteran Owned Small Businesses
