I've just recently begun working with The Wounded Warrior Program, not to be confused with the Wounded Warrior Project, in building a new IT company (Warrior IT Solutions) with the primary focus of bridging the gap between transitioning wounded warriors and their civilian careers. We are driven to bridge this gap by providing free training, certifications, and jobs for these veterans.

About
I thoroughly enjoy the energy, creativity, and challenges of startup companies, and strive to provide the very best paths to success. The energy found within the collaborative whiteboard is infectious, and drives me to be more creative and energetic. I simply love to build things, whether it's a tool cart or a new program. I am a dreamer. But with years of software development, I've learned to break enormous problems down to bite size pieces. I get the job done, as my references below can attest.
With a MBA (minors in IS and Finance), Security+, and over 30 years experience, I am capable of developing and implementing lean operational and technical solutions through various commercial / government agencies, and achieving performance targets for organizations. I enjoy leading teams to achieve those targets, and to watch those within the team grow.
Specialties: Industry proven visionary with several innovative implementations of leading-edge technologies. Skilled in quickly identifying areas of improvement through the implementation of industry proven technologies to maximize productivity and minimize losses. Visionary with the acumen to develop efficient solutions quickly and with minimal investment. Refocusing teams and achieving the impossible.
Creating a Shared Technology Vision; ERP Integrations; Forming & Leveraging Vendor Alliances; Written & Formal Presentation Skills; Streamlining Workflow Automation; Startup/Turnaround Situations; and Maximizing Technology Investments.
I am a LinkedIn Open Networker (LION), see contacts for my e-mail address. I would love to join networks, and discuss how we can work together to build something new and exciting! I am always seeking the perfect CIO position, where my skills and experience can benefit the organization.
