Background:

Over the past five years, as an independent IT Architecture consultant, in the area of design and deployment of
technology infrastructure solutions for the enterprise, I have been providing quality services to small and medium
size businesses as they adapt their processes to incorporate newer computing and data communications technologies.
I have been focused on OOAD methodologies that can be used for a wide variety of activities from Business Process
re-engineering to software engineering.  I have specialized in Java for implementing OO systems.  I balance my time
between, teaching and project work.  I have trained corporate staff in all areas of Java, CORBA, XML, RMI, EJB, J2EE
and client-side Java beans.  In mentoring and project assignments, I have been involved with all aspects of the
software development process: analysis, design, implementation, testing and deployment.

I streamline my solutions to satisfy the business needs of my customers and have successfully serviced a wide cross-section
of the business spectrum, including: strategic marketing, manufacturing, retail sales, software development, electronic
commerce, multimedia production, law offices, finance and accounting, internet service providers and many more.

Prior to my new career as an independent consultant, I spent four years with Owens Corning in the information systems
organization in several roles.  I successfully designed and implemented a network management strategy based on SNMP
using the HP-OpenView framework.  I also coordinated a team of vendors to implement the corporate wide Internet access,
external web hosting, intranet information servers and small vendor ecommerce B2B services.

As the IT Architecture sub-team leader for the strategic marketing re-engineering group, I gained valuable experience
learning business processes and streamlining technology solutions to enable these processes.

I also have five years experience as a programmer/analyst for a mix of Fortune 500 companies, academia and small
businesses.  Some of the programming involved laboratory and factory automation and manufacturing process control.
My experience in the public sector consists of a six month software design and implementation project for the
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Other Experiences:

I am a second Lieutenant in the U.S. Civil Air Patrol, and currently serving as the Public Affairs Officer of the
Raleigh-Wake Composite Squadron (32048) of the North Carolina Wing (MER-NC-001).

I served on the board of the Triangle Java Users Group as the President (2000) and the Treasurer (1999).  I successfully
reorganized the group, completed critical business filings with the state and federal agencies, raised funds through corporate
sponsorships and membership drives and started programs to assist new users get Java experience.

In 1999, I served as a volunteer Venue Financial Manager for the 1999 Special Olympics World Games at the World Games
Festival site in Raleigh, North Carolina.

I served on the board of directors and chair of the marketing committee (1996-1997) of the Owens Corning Federal Credit Union

Honors:

I was invited to give a seminar at a meeting of the American Society for Industrial Security (Toledo Chapter) on January 16, 1997.
The topic of the seminar was "Introduction to Internet Services and Security" and the attending members were corporate security
and law enforcement professionals.

These are some of the academic honors I have received over several years in academia:

I fulfilled a childhood ambition to learn to fly planes and my favorite pastime is exercising the privileges of my
(hard earned) private pilots license.  I am a member of the Raleigh-Wake Composite Civil Air Patrol Squadron (32048)
and am looking forward to flying missions.  I enjoy working with media production technologies and exercising the
creative side of my personality.  I have produced a few video documentaries on a wide variety of contemporary issues.
I am an amateur radio operator (KB8IBV) and volunteer as a trained storm spotter for the Skywarn program of the
National Weather Service.  I am an active member of my church and am currently learning to read music and sing in
the choir.  I also enjoy outdoor recreation activities like basketball, swimming, camping, hiking, canoeing and fishing.
I have a keen interest in global political issues and may consider becoming active in the political process.  I am currently
a permanent resident and will become a naturalized citizen of the USA in the near future.
