Objective

To return to the corporate market place to utilize my entrepreneurial experience. To assist small to mid size business owners. Also to address business problems with creative technical solutions.

Summary

I have consulted with clients and business owners for over 10 years. I also have consulting experience in the areas of LAN/WAN implementation and assett management, training and support, help desk, and facilities support. I have intrapersonal and presentations skills and have always made the complex understandable. I feel equally comfortable with the technician as the senior manager. I have a proven ability to translate business needs into technology requirements that support the company’s business objectives. I have successfully managed all phases of IT projects from needs analysis and requirements definition to vendor selection, implementation, and training.
