APR Consulting began as a partnership formed by independent IT contractors Linda Elamparo and Darryl Stone, who officially established the firm under the name APR (representing Accountability, Performance, and Results) in the 1970s before incorporating in 1980. Originally focused on software design and engineering consulting for aerospace and utility clients in Southern California, the company steadily expanded nationwide, launched contingent workforce solutions, secured major government and NASA contracts, and evolved into a multi-industry staffing leader.
