Career Summary

I possess operational, technical and management expertise in a wide array of applications, operating systems, communications and client/server technologies. I also possess a demonstrated and acknowledged aptitude for diplomatically solving problems as well as substantial experience with individual and group training. My success in these areas is largely attributable to the willingness and initiative to explore avenues not routinely traveled by others.
