ABOUT PRAXIS CR

Praxis Computer Research (PCR) was created in May, 1996 by Paul Sanchietti to establish programming, training and technical support for the Sawtooth Technologies, Inc. Ci3/CATI system.  PCR has since expanded to include services for Sensus Web and Sensus/WinCati/Mixed Mode software.  Additionally, Paul has created a Laboratory and Optimization Training program for organizations seeking to operate a research call center efficiently and productively.

Paul has programmed over 800 questionnaires and conducted over 200 training sessions, over half of which have been with universities from across the United States.  Additionally, Paul has conducted trainings in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia and Malaysia.

Paul Sanchietti has an Associate of Arts degree in Psychology from Santa Rosa Junior College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Sacramento State University, and a Master of Arts degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Organizational Psychology, from Sacramento State University.

Graduating with his Master of Arts degree in 1987, Paul began working for the Center's for Disease Control (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Study (BRFSS), a project conducted in conjunction with the State of California.  Research on the BRFSS, which originally used a CATI system other than WinCati, examined life risk factors such as cigarette smoking, seat belt usage, drinking, etc.  Ci3/CATI became the CATI system of choice for California and the CDC in 1991.  After seven years with the State of California, Paul began working with a private sector research firm in San Francisco, CA.  Director of CATI Operations, Paul successfully programmed, operated and trained associates in using the Sawtooth Ci3/CATI system.  Having become experienced and well-versed in Ci3 and CATI, Paul established PCR in 1996 in partnership with Sawtooth Technologies, Inc.

Paul Sanchietti is also a licensed massage therapist and is currently studying to become a personal trainer, and strength and conditioning specialist.
