Seasoned IT Professional with over 25 years experience in an IT career progression beginning with programming, evolving to application design consulting, database development and administration, growing into development management, and eventually culminating in director level leadership of IT departments. My experience includes hands-on work and management of all aspects of common business technologies including software and hardware implementation, customization, support and maintenance, end-user and client support, vendor management, systems administration, network and telephony infrastructures, and technology team management. Most of my career has been spent either providing consulting services to F1K companies or early involvement helping new start-up ventures establish technology infrastructures customized to support business needs. I could drop trendy buzzwords like cloud or mobile, but I support whatever technology trends are best suited to drive the business I work for to achieve its ultimate objectives.
