Professional Overview

I started in the IT field as a part-time computer sales/repair technician on my days off as a professional firefighter. Self study activities allowed me to move into a full-time systems consulting position where I performed customer needs analysis and system designs. My continued self study activities and on the job training allowed me move into a IT Directors position and to startup my own IT management/web development business in Jay County Indiana.
