Have implemented distributed software system which significantly reduces time to upgrade scattered workstations. Was instrumental in setting up outsourced team to provide both software and hardware support. Set up effective internal and off site backup procedures to meet needed insurance requirements and provide timely disaster recovery.

Have been responsible for implementing new workflows, training subordinates and management in their use. Training others includes such jobs as digital color correction, digital print production, use of OEM software, environmental quality control, and others. Teaching includes thirteen years as the Youth Director and Sunday School teacher at my church where Biblical principles were disseminated twice a week to an average of twenty five teens in grades nine through twelve.
