Description
Technology should be making our lives easier, not harder. I am an IT/MIS/Engineering professional with 25+ yrs’ experience in the global corporate arena. Specialized in business and IT startup, development, and management, including: • Overhaul, installation, and maintenance of entire system at Fort Mojave Indian Health Clinic, including building and installation of 7 servers, implementation of Thin Client Terminal Services, creating company intranet and implementation of paperless initiative in compliance with I.H.S. and AAAHC accreditation standards • Conversion, implementation, and management of all computer systems, I.T. personnel, and software as Director of Information Technology at Avi Resort & Casino • Management of operation and supply for Home Video + Music, a chain of 28 video and music superstores in Texas • A global wide area network and IT Department with nodes in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Detroit, Boston, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Toronto, São Paulo, Taipei, Hong Kong, London, and Munich • Development of the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Testing and the Electrical Testing and Development divisions of Intertek ETL Entela, Inc., from zero to 2.2 million dollars in the first year • Design and Development of more than 30 enterprise websites and Intranets including avicasino.com and capacertified.org • Design and Development of all internal CAPA applications. CAPA, The Certified Automotive Parts Association, oversees the testing and certification of all aftermarket auto parts imported into the United States You will find me widely experienced with a great variety of software and adept at quickly mastering any new applications I may encounter. I am also adept at installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting all manner of computer equipment and software. I feel my main strength lies in streamlining business process systems. My particular advantage in the I.T. environment is my ability to translate technical information into plain English, and to interpret an individual's or a business' needs, delivering a product to them that easily suits them, or what I jokingly call "Computer/Human Relations". I am a very skilled Graphic Designer and Web Designer, and know all the ins-and-outs of internet marketing and design. I am an experienced leader and team player. My philosophy of management mainly consists of leading by example, encouraging, enabling and empowering team members to succeed. In short the essence of leadership is to say - "Hey, everybody! pick up a brick!" And then pick up two yourself.
