Welcome to my on-line resume. This resume is set up different
from a traditional resume. Instead of dividing the
resume into "Education," "Employment" and "Skills," I choose
to emphasize the necessary skills of an Information Technology
Lawyer.
If you would prefer a traditional resume, please click on
the button located at the top - right of this page. There,
you will find an HTML version of a traditional resume, as well
as MSWord and Rich Text Format (RTF) versions that are available for download.
This resume is meant to supplement my traditional resume.
Here, I can present more information about myself to a potential
employer and exhibit my computer skills at the same time.
So, choose a category. After you have reviewed my credentials,
click on the "contact me" button to arrange an interview.
I thank you for taking time to visit my On-line Resume.

Web Designer / Developer
Design and develop Web-sites, including Web-based databases.
I have been working with computers since the first Apple PC was introduced.
Immediatly, I took to writing code in Basic. Early on, I also wrote code in FORTRAN,
using a main frame and inputting the program via punch-cards. Later, I experimented
with C++.
Over the last several years I have learned HTML, PERL5, MSql and Javascript by
designing and implementing pages and databases for the World Wide Web.
Because I understand how programs are written, I have an ability to learn
new software packages quickly. I also have experience with the major business
software. Including: MS Office componants, Word Perfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and
Quickbooks.
My background in technology means I speak and understand the concepts and jargon
of "Techies." Therefore, on the first day of employment with your firm, I will
be prepared to take on technical assignments without having to learn a new
vocabulary. In addition, given a common vocabulary, I can interact with clients
and assess their technical problems and legal options.

General Manager
1996 - Present
Total responsibility for office and financial management of a trade shows contractor.
I have been in the "business world" for more than fifteen years. My skills
are diverse; I have supervised more than 100 employees, prepared bids, arranged financing,
organized large-scale projects and managed the office activity of several companies.
Because I understand the goals and interests of business people and have worked
at every rank, I communicate well with all levels of an organization.
I chose Information Technology Law as my speciality because business is such an
integral part of the discipline.
