The name "First In Consulting" is a play on what, in the fire service, is called the "first in" engine company. It's the company that arrives first on the scene, sets up the hose lines, hits the hydrant, establishes command, and tackles the problem at hand. We chose the name because it symbolizes our ideal: dependable, thorough, fast service.
First In Consulting, LLC was formed in February, 2006. Elizabeth and Matthew Moran are the founding partners. They provide consulting services and training to local and not-for-profit organizations with the overall goal of improving quality of life in their community.
