Denison, Iowa

I headed the launch of a FTTP launch for the technical side of the operation including the installs and surveys. I worked with customers to help them understand their bills plus setup the install for them with our services over the competition. We went from no customers to 100 customers in less than 6 months while maintaining our copper plant in another.

Walnut, Iowa

During my time at Walnut we successfully launched several new areas of service. First we launched a high speed cable modem service to our cable only towns, then right after that brought out ISP service in-house for email and web pages reducing our cost by 90% and a payback in 5 months. Later we launched a voice over cable in 1 of our towns soon the other 2.

Harlan, Iowa

During my time at SCCI/HTS this company grew from a southwest Iowa company to a midwest company spanning from Oklahoma to Iowa and 1 location to 6 locations. I was in charge of deploying VOIP phone systems for customers plus all our own locations. Supporting our ITC customers and deploying ISP services internally for several telephone companies through out.

I started out taking care of the dialup modems for the new internet area at INS on top of my normal duties for INS. AS time went on my duties grew to being the first and only WAN tech that dealt with the 120+ ITC's in Iowa. I was responsible for Sales, Purchasing, Installation and support for these customers. This area grew from nothing but 12 modems to.

As part of my service while I was stationed at Fort Richardson Alaska I was tasked to help the USAISC with the repair of PC's as they were having to fly people from Seattle to the 3 locations to repair these units. Myself and another soldier were tasked to educate other units on software such as Lotus 1-2-3, Dbase 3+, MS-DOS, and Multimate so in our spare.
