EXECUTIVE PROFILE

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – INTERNET SERVICES – STRATEGIC PLANNING My career thus far has been defined by hard-work, creativity in a multitude of technical facets, and a results- driven approach to leadership in technology.

At this point in my career, I have elevated and excelled at developing and motivating highly skilled and focused teams that fully execute company objectives with the standards and values that I personally hold within my own foundation. My goal will always be continued growth and exposure to new objectives to expand my diversified range of technological skill sets.
