The focus of my career for the last 17 years has been in information technology;
infrastructure management, project management, product development, team management and
development and application sales. I chose this path due to the ever changing world and
challenges of IT. The exploration of these paths has allowed me to build an internal
knowledgebase of how best to first understand then design and build out applications which
impact people in a positive manor. Throughout my career, I ve worked as the presenter of
information both upstream and downstream. I have proven my ability to understand complex
situations both technical and personality based and disseminate those complexities into
solutions to achieve the goals at hand. I ve spent time working with clients one on one
and within client groups to determine inefficiencies in existing workflows and
applications and create new applications to address gaps. I have always prided myself as
someone who does not pitch vaporware. I have the ability and passion to bring multiple
resources together and continue to motivate those resources throughout a projects
lifecycle. The ability to adjust and change as demands dictate is one of the many things I
bring to the table.
My passion and leadership not only play out in my career but outside of the office. I am
one of the founding members of a non-profit, Operation BBQ Relief
www.operationbbqrelief.org created after our efforts in providing meals to the people of
Joplin after the Tornado this past May. To date we have provided relief to 7 different
disaster preparing and serving over 150,000 meals. My responsibility in OBR is Operations.
I have 7 different coordinators I work with depending on location to help bring resources
and volunteers in to provide meals. I work with individuals and corporations to gather
donations and determine the logistical needs for each operation. I do not take my
responsibilities lightly and fully engage in the tasks in front of me both personally and
professionally.
I look forward to speaking with you in regards to my experience and how my experience
would be of benefit.
Thank you for your consideration,
