I never really liked writing about myself, never really saw the point to “Talking myself up”, always figured my work would speak for me. So I am not wiring here to impress you with my qualifications or experience, instead, I write to give you some insight in to me as a person and what drives me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
I am a Seasoned Technology Specialist and evangelist. I am an expert in the use and integration of technology in the workplace and in personal life. I have worked and lived in all parts of the IT world wearing many hats and changing them to meet the demands of the day, and experience has taught me that it’s best to be fluid.
I understand that no one is good at everything, or for that matter, as good as they think they are. My goal is to be the best at what I do when I am doing it, and be a driving force to get things done, effectively and efficiently. Get in there determine what can be done quickly, then adapt or change direction. (If you are going to Fail, Fail Fast then succeed based on the lessons learned)
I speak Tech, Engineer, Product/Project Manager, Director and Executive. I am fluent in complex and difficult as well as almost impossible. Difficult clients/end users are a specialty of mine. I find that have an understanding leads to less missteps or confusion, missteps and confusion can lead to a loss of time and/or the deal that depended on XYZ working.
• I like to win
• I execute and deliver
• I can be calm and I can raise all sorts of heck
• I put out fires and love doing it
Passion is in my blood, never give up, never quit, stay until the job gets done then come back and do it again. I live my life this way, it’s in the way that I raise my Daughter and the way that I work. There is nothing that cannot be done, it may take longer than expected, it may be more difficult, but it’s doable.
That’s me in a nut shell
Let me know how I can help
