Quietwater Media is a digital marketing consulting firm. We take the client's excitement and brand vision and translate that into words and pictures that show an engaging story. We are zoomed in on the importance of creating a 'want' not a 'need', of persuading rather than declaring, and of showing more than telling.demo reel: https://www.youtube.com/@Quietwatermediallc

LeMans Corp is the WalMart of the motorcycle parts industry. Wholesale not retail, very quiet and low profile, immensely successful in their niche. Whether dirt bikes, road bikes, Harleys or customs, LeMans sells products to the dealers that in turn sell to the retail public. I was a network administrator in the IT Department and a project manager/architect during my time there. I helped develop PartsNetWeb and DragNetWeb, two online order entry systems that the LeMans dealer network used to place their daily orders. They were (and are) wildly successful. Also helped select a Warehouse Management System.

Bellevue, Wa.

We tried to develop and sell a "filtering" kind of software that "watched" people's online habits and then after "learning" those habits tried to replicate them. I was a software tester there. Looking back on it, the testing was fairly straight forward: use cases, regression, an ability to duplicate the problem, accurate descriptive writing, and an ability to interact with software developers. Our software never quite got out the door. The company drifted along with no certain future and I think it died a quiet death shortly after I left for greener pastures east of the Mississippi. Good people there. Steve Oroszlan, Ben Clark and Bruce Johnson - I wonder what ever happened to them?

Redmond, Wa.

Technically at Volt, but everything I did and all the training and jobs were on MSFT campus. I'm never quite sure how to describe this. My paycheck said "Volt" on it, but everything else, including my spiff little orange badge was MSFT. Quite the experience. I was one of the testers working on "APM", inside of Memphis, which later became Windows 98. High flying MSFT at the time. Incredible energy on campus. Glad I was able to experience it! I left here for a "real" job that offered benefits and stability. If only I had known what Connectsoft offered I don't think I would have departed......

Edmonds, Wa.

Very interesting position. It was all about 3D numerical simulation of ground water flow. MODFLOW and Surfer. A hydrogeologist's dream. This was all pre Windows 95, so the computing environment was fairly primitive, but I loved what I did. Biggest client was Boeing. We supported them in a court case to determine who was the "bad guy" unleashing contaminants on the City of Portland secondary water supply system. Tons of modeling. Our side won! But this spelled my demise as there was not a whole lot of work after that. Hank Landau is the founder of the company. He gets my vote as one of the more successful engineering entrepreneurs I have known.

Redmond, Wa.

My first job after leaving the University of Montana graduate program in hydrogeology. Lots of time in the field. Columbia Plateau (anyone been in Washtucna?) preliminary landfill siting, north central WA state (anyone ever been in Chesaw?) preliminary gold mine feasibility work and a fair amount of time in Portland, OR. Lots of learning what the real world was like. This was a good first job. They got a bunch of chargeable hours out of me. I got some professional seasoning out of my time there. I left after two + years to go back to Montana and finish my degree. Golder was a good place.

Salmon, Idaho

Couldn't leave this position off my CV. Working for AWWA for two summers (89 & 90) in Idaho as a whitewater river guide was like getting paid to play. Best summer job a college student could ever ask for. The Main Stem of the Salmon River and the Middle Fork of the Salmon River are two of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I was lucky enough to do numerous 5 and 6 day trips on both those rivers during the course of the two summers I worked there. Idaho is one of the best kept secrets in the entire USA in my opinion.

Bachelor'S Degree, Geology

Another fabulous place! I did manage to graduate here and continued on for graduate work in Hydrogeology. Missoula is the only metro area.

Duluth, MN. is a great place. Lots of great memories. If anyone who reads this ever gets there, check out Chester Bowl (a little tiny ski.
