Educational Overview

A Comprehensive Information Technology Education

I am a highly competent computer professional with a uniquely comprehensive view of the functioning and management of current information systems technology.

Building from a foundation of a bachelor of computer science degree, I have first-hand experience with all levels of computer operations, from systems programming and network management to user interface design.  I have built on that base by earning a Master’s of Business Administration with focus on managing information systems.  Most recently I have updated my skills with a technical degree from Columbus State in Web Development.

I am equally at home with system administration of UNIX, Windows or Apple operating systems, or with managing a network of Cisco routers.  I can design a website with Adobe Creative Suite (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash) or write an application in Java, Visual Basic or PHP.  I can access data using Access, MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

I have a wide variety of information systems management experience from non-profits, healthcare and education to telecom, banking and manufacturing.  I offer a wealth of comprehensive technical understanding and business experience.
