I have thoroughly enjoyed the past seventeen years of providing consulting and professional Information technology support to small and medium sized business owners. It's an honor to support those with the courage and spirit needed to start and run a business. It is rewarding to witness, as well as be a part of, their growth and successes. The past 40 years (I started when I was very young) have provided some unique and amazing opportunities for me to learn and grow as a person and as an IT Professional. I have had the benefit of having had some terrific mentors, leaders, peers, customers and incredible staff members.In carefully listening and selecting the good ideas, behaviors, attitudes and knowledge from those that I admire and trust, I have been able to build a style and approach that is uniquely me.Variety provides spice in life! There isn't much that I have not accomplished in IT. I've hung tapes,did a rotation as a printer jockey, pulled cable, programmed mainframes, lead major projects, worked in the mid-range space and have become very successul and adept at PC's and Servers. I have been able to work with many Operating Systems, Hardware Platforms and countless Programming Languages. I have literally been involved in every aspect of IT from Architectural planning through execution.Specialties: The bulk of my career has been spent working for and positioning Large and very Global Financial Institutions to be leaders in processing electronic transactions. I started down this path as a Programmer and advanced through some high-ranking Vice President roles as I accumulated experience and appropriate leadership skills.
