My Resume...
This is a fairly comprehensive outline of my experience from 1984 to present.
If you have any questions, or critiques, give me a call or drop me an email.
Due to an injury and subsequent illness, I have been out of work for a few years. I'm feeling better, and ready to get back in the saddle again. If you want a "thinker" with tremendous creativity and extensive experience in multiple fields, with management experience and a full understanding of the business side of your industry, stop reading and give me a call.
