Objective

I am a mid 50’s able bodied person ready to start a career change. I spent the last thirteen years as a high tech consultant traveling throughout the United States. I look forward to using my management and consulting skills, my love of the outdoors and nature and desire to provide a service to those around me as I transition to a challenging, rewarding career that uses my talents in creative ways.
