ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Patrick Abernathy has joined TruAge as its manager of retail and systems engagement.

Developed by NACS, the global trade association that represents the convenience and fuel retailing industry, and Conexxus, its standards-setting partner, TruAge makes the traditional carding experience more reliable and accurate.

Abernathy has more than 20 years of industry experience, most recently as director of IT for Jacksons Food Stores and prior to that as IT director for Sapp Bros. Travel Centers.

TruAge was launched in limited tests late in 2021. A more robust round of pilot tests will commence later this month in locations in California, Texas and Virginia, with a national rollout planned for later this year.
