Specialties:
Whether you want to call it IT or MIS I have seen it and most likely done it. From financial institutions to manufacturing, retail to distribution, international to domestic, it is and has been in my wheel house.
If green field, well oiled machine, or apocalyptic melt down describes your present network environment, I have seen it and have worked in it. Nothing scares me any more. I have worked with behemoth and microscopic budgets and have lived to tell the story.
I can plan it, buy it, and manage it while maintaining a smile and garnering a bit of a savings along the way.
I have hired, fired, reviewed, and congratulated many individuals along my journey. The most difficult but rewarding aspect of management is the people you get to share life with.
I was given many responsibilities to manage subsets of very large projects. scheduled my own travel to meet the demands of the projects, collaborated with many business units, and attended weekly status meetings.
Very hands-on position where I implemented a number of projects related to Cisco networking equipment, Compaq servers, Dell servers, Novell 3.11, Novell Zen-works, Windows NT, Microsoft SQL, and proprietary databases.
