What Carpe Factum is, plus the COPS-style HIPAA training video

• What is Tim Johnson's Carpe Factum and what does it do?
• How did Tim end up as a project manager — what is the career path?

Tim explains Carpe Factum (Latin for 'seize the accomplishment'): primary management consulting that helps companies get from point A to point B, including systems projects, product distribution, training videos, and government compliance work. He tells the story of a COPS-style HIPAA training video he directed and starred in as the head police officer for one corporation's 3,000 employees, plus the blooper reel and the uniform still in his closet. Asked how one becomes a project manager, he calls it 'the accidental profession' — nobody grows up wanting it — prompting a running joke about snaring project managers in the woods with raw meat.
