Early in my career I recognized the disconnect between the highly talented - successful individuals that create / present technical solutions to those of us who simply need the right tool for the job, by providing strategic guidance that  successfully select, implement and translate the technical tools into obtainable real-world objectives.

By bringing me on board, you are applying the personable experiences that bind multiple project successes with colleagues' satisfaction / enablement, accuracy and profitable success that’ll take away one less worry from your already complex life.

See below for a quick overview of my skills and experience, and I look forward to discussing further how we can be of mutual benefit to your organization’s stated success.
