I was brought to Dalhart based on my prior Programming Analyst, Leadership, and Business Systems Analyst skill-set. The idea being to give Dalhart a voice, and be a project manager liaison with the Senior Analysts in California while performing Programming and or Systems Analysts tasks myself as well.

For over 28 years I provided a wide variety of technical solutions, which included; system administration, database management, PC and network troubleshooting, technical training, as well as business application development to private customers. Often, business processes had to be improved upon as a result or prerequisite. Thus, improvements in management and or job procedures were recommended and implemented.

DISA Contractor-Top Secret Classification:Professional titles are one thing. Professional roles are the real thing. I was placed as an Analyst but my role expanded into even more responsibility and ownership. No private company could come close to the magnitude of technology, data handling, security or user interaction that I had over the course of this opportunity. It involved rapidly learning and programming in multiple software languages, managing the system administration, system security, and producing results as a project leader, in a military environment during times of peace and war.

I have always had a passion for providing outstanding customer service in a restaurant setting, and interacting with people during that process. As a full-time restaurant manager (in addition to regular full-time career) I had a wide variety of duties that needed to be accomplished on a daily basis. Thusly, this position required that I be organized, professional, and most importantly, a strong leader. This position required me to learn every facet of every position, train employees, and train other managers within the same region. It also mirrored one of many I had while working my way through college. Totaling well over 20 years of managerial, customer service, and leadership experience.

Went from project to project and completed each of them with little or no true training. Had to figure things out as I went along. Walked away with confidence that I could do anything asked of me, especially in the technological industry.
