Okay, let’s tackle this. So Tom has a broad range of IT skills, including strategy, vendor management, operations, and project management. He also has experience in process improvement and business analysis. Location is Denver, which is a major city with a strong IT industry. According to national averages, IT professionals with his skill set and experience can earn around $100–$150 per hour. However, considering his expertise in multiple areas, I’ll estimate around $125 per hour, which is slightly above the average but still reasonable for a seasoned IT professional in this location.
