On completion of his MS in 78, Mr. Eaton became Vice President of Gene Simons, Inc., a management engineering consulting firm. During his 13-year tenure, he was responsible for large-scale engineering studies and software development projects for a variety of public and private institutions. Prior to that he served as a programmer analyst at Hudson Valley Community College for nine years where he created various finance and scheduling systems, artificial intelligence networks, and an online registration system. Mr. Eaton has also done private software and management engineering consulting.

Mr. Eaton joined Novalis Corporation in 1992 as a programmer analyst working on the legacy Health Claims Payment System (HCPS) product to support HMO operations. He was promoted to Manager of Systems Development responsible for developing new functionality in HCPS and EDI, Director of HCPS Development in 1997, and then to Applications Architect in 1998. As Applications Architect, Mr. Eaton was responsible for the applications content and design decisions for the HCPS and MCS systems.

Mr. Eaton came to TriZetto Group through their acquisition of Novalis Inc. in 1999, following which he coordinated the transition of development and support to the consolidated development center in Englewood, CO. In 2000 he joined Transformation Services as Senior Manager where he lead conversion projects moving HMO clients from legacy claims payment systems to modern technologies under TriZetto ASP hosting.  He was also involved in tools development for conversions to Facets ®, TriZetto's premier health claims system, client and general interfaces in and out of Facets, and individual conversion projects.  From 2003 to 2005 he worked with TriZetto’s hosted Business Intelligence organization in developing capitation reports for a large Blue Cross / Blue Shield unit.

On separation from TriZetto Group, Mr. Eaton did contract work for several Health Care Payers, including Oregon Dental Services 2005-2006 (through Synergy), APS in Silver Spring, MD 2006 (through HP Technologies), and finally MVP Health Care from 2007 through early 2011 (through 3I Infotech)  as an IT consultant and developer doing development work surrounding the Facets and other enterprise claims systems, regulatory compliance, web security, and tools development.

Most recently, Mr. Eaton was Enterprise Architect for MVP Health Care from late 2011 through early 2015, working under the Director of Architecture and Strategy.  This work built on some of the same themes of the development consulting engagement, but added the responsibilities of Enterprise Architecture help direct and implement long-term goals in terms of applications and project portfolios; major project design and implementation such as the effort to integrate with the ACA Marketplaces, and integrate the data center and applications portfolios with a major acquisition; and internal architectural concerns such as standardizing the architectural practice using The Open Group Architectural Framework, coordinating with non-IT through a Shadow IT Council, and building standard architectural documentation such as roadmaps and capability maps.

Mr. Eaton holds a B.S. and M.S. in Management Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and has published on project management technique and management engineering.

From 1990, Mr. Eaton has pursued an interest in Maya Studies, attending conferences and developing a program for archeologists working in the field of MesoAmerican Archeoastronomy.

Beginning in 2008, Mr. Eaton started SoPilar Belize, a campground supporting the adjacent El Pilar Architectural Reserve, eco-tourism, and sustainable development.
