OBJECTIVE
Hard working, focused, seasoned IT professional with diversified experience since 1985. Technically sophisticated with a variety of skills with core sets being: Development, IT Mgr. & Sys Adm.; all within complex environments. Held virtually every job title in the rewarding world of IT. Burning passion for my work taking great pride in the results. I have clear and concise communication capabilities with users at all levels. Although most of my background is within the manufacturing industry, I believe this has indoctrinated me to very complex settings and allows me to easily adapt to other industries. Moreover, even though most of my experience is HP3000, since 1997 I have acquired UNIX, SQL admin., networking, management, leadership, MS Exchange, conversion, and several other valuable skills. I have worked hard to learn streamline skills since 1997 to compliment my HP3000 legacy history. I am seeking a challenging position as an MIS-IT-Director-Manager, Project Manager/Leader, Senior Developer, or Systems Administrator within a company of any size as an in-house permanent employee or as a consultant.
