To whom it may concern:

I possess experience and education which provides a foundation for me to be

an asset to your organization. I can provide your company the professional

experience that involves Geology, Geophysics and Information Technology

skills. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Science with a major in

Geology and minor in Mathematics. Currently I work as a Geophysical Data

Analyst. I am responsible for setting requirements for micro-seismic and

seismic data input to the Master Seismic Repository, so that it is

classified according to appropriate technical specifications, and available

for use to the Geoscience Departments. I have Geoscience application domain

experience and knowledge as well as an understanding of the Exploration and

Production geoscience workflows and tasks related to application support. I

have experience in the support of seismic data processing and data

management applications including the planning and implementation of new

solutions and upgrades. I am responsible for setting requirements for micro-

seismic and seismic data input to the Master Seismic Repository, so that it

is classified according to appropriate technical specifications. I have

Geoscience application domain experience and knowledge as well as an

understanding of the Exploration and Production geoscience workflows and

tasks related to application support. I provide support for seismic data

management systems and applications including the planning and

implementation of new solutions and upgrades.

In my tenure at Conoco Inc. in the Geophysics Department, I was responsible

for development and maintenance of Conoco Seismic Processing (CONSEIS), Map

Processing (CONMAP), Log Analysis (CONLOG), and Deviated Survey

Calculations (DSC) systems and for data information moves between differing

systems and data bank structures. I was also responsible for creation and

maintenance of the data base application software used for the loading of

data to these systems and the support of how the data of each of these

systems were connected and used. I built database structures, using

operating systems commands, for the extraction, conversion and processing

of seismic data, well log data and mapping data from their source data

management systems and for the return and storage of that data to the

respective data warehouses.

I am experienced in the computer operations field, and have worked as a

Systems Analyst, Geoscientist, Computer Scientist, Program Developer,

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) developer and Software Engineer. I

used ESRI tools developed for the migration of data from relational

data and application database schemas to an object oriented implementation.

These tools provided a means to implement data transformations easily and

consistently across various data sources. I was also responsible for

performing system administrative tasks for the five ESRI UNIX servers used

at the City of Oklahoma City.

I started my own business as an independent business evaluations expert and

performed business evaluations using a program I created in a Microsoft

Excel program that performs calculations and produces reports to establish

a fair market value of a business.

I owned and managed a medical office practice management systems computer

support and services company until its sale to WEBMD. The business

specialized in providing complete operational support of the medical

practice management systems used in physician's offices. Responsibilities

included support for the entire office staff, hardware installation,

networking, software implementation, system security, data integrity and

training. I had to plan, coordinate, and set schedules for the

installation, implementation and maintenance of all management information

systems for over forty separate physician sites. It was my responsibility

to assess the current state of the physician's office management and IT

systems and provide solutions and recommend improvements by working with

office managers to define upgrades or new implementation paths. I managed

the physician office's servers, keeping software up-to-date, setting

configuration and security policies, and monitoring system status while

assigning users access privileges to applications.

I am able to communicate and interact effectively with a broad spectrum of

individuals, whether they are geoscientists, business owners, computer

professionals or the general public. I would appreciate the opportunity to

speak with you and discuss my qualifications and your needs in detail. If

my skills, abilities and experience do not fit the required parameters for

this position please inform me of any other positions in which you think I

could contribute.

Thank you for your consideration.
