This is just here for bio information - I am happily employed.
Objective
Join a team of IS professionals and use skills gained through education and prior experiences to develop and maintain sound information and communication systems.

Personal Summary

I have been working in the computer field since 1996, and have supported a wide variety of users in a wide variety of settings.  I have worked on everything from personal home computers, small business networks with a handful of clients, to multi-location small enterprise networks.  I have written applications for such diverse needs as tour reservation management, guest home reservation management, hydrological data collection, online document management, to customer tracking systems.  

The bottom line is I love what I do.  I deeply enjoy solving technical challenges and deciphering process and logic from day-to-day business.  

I love learning; be it a new programming language, a database system, or a graphics studio.
