Once again, my objective is to drive new business. It is really nice to be working for a company that isn't just a bunch of 'peddlers' pushing products, but with the desire to provide solutions rather than products. Our goal is eliminate customer pain points while offering top notch service to our clients.

Us

To drive new business and business relationships through a variety of different methodologies including making contact with potential accounts and customers and introducing new technologies to increase IT efficiency and decrease the overall management burden to the infrastructure.

I know it's getting old, but another great group of people that I've had the pleasure of working with. I worked closely with the Tom Harrity, the president of Xdata, and the sales team in rolling out virtualization and replication technologies working with such vendors as LSI and their StoreAge product

I worked at NETSource with many great new people and with the ownership that I knew from many years in the past all the way back to my R-Squared days. I still have a great deal of fondness, love, and respect for these people and while I was there I added many millions of dollars onto the company’s bottom line, and also in a team effort helped the sales people that I worked with hit their goals. I am still proud to call many of them my friends.

I started out in sales, but ended up in technical marketing. Once again working with a great team as distributed computer networking was all being reeled in to a more centralized management system and the burgeoning SAN market place was developing. I helped with many projects in developing and promoting the latest and greatest technologies and had great success there with helping the sales people reach their goals.

This was dawning of the 3.5" hard disk technology and open system computing. Long live the VAX!!! Shortly there after was what became one of the hottest computer items I've ever been involved with. It created an incredible stir. That's right, everybody was flipping out about a new technology called unattended tape backup from a company by the name of Exabyte. I was part of an inside sales team that was responsible for covering territories not covered by the outside sales team. I was an account representative and worked closely with those accounts in my territory such as Borders Book Stores, Fermi National Laboratory, Argonne National Labs, Harris Corporation, GE Aerospace (now Lockheed Martin), and EDS to mention just a few with successfully promoting those products and increasing sales.

This was fun back in the day of the 8" disk drive dinosaur was coming to an end and the advent of the latest and greatest technology was coming into existence with the advent of the Seagate ST-225 MFM 5.25" 21.4 GB full height disk drive, and the floppy disk. Those were the days!!! I worked with a great team of people promoting our products and managing some really good people.
