Professional background

Want to know more about my professional background?  Great!

You can download/view my resume here. I will be adding portfolio items to this site over time.

I am currently a Solutions Architect and Sales Engineer.  A fancy way of saying that I create technical build plans for large software projects.  I have a natural predisposition to solve problems in addition to an engineering background... I originally studied to be a mechanical engineer, then cultivated an interest in web programming.  Early in my career, I found great value in staying current with programming technologies, but also the need to develop other skills to maintain applicability later in life. I love business and sales in addition to technology.  Veteran programmers tend to be well suited for management positions if their personality fits.  Such growth also requires a degree of humility and open-mindedness.
