Past experiences include operation of a small regional internet service provider, and several years of software development. I'm a network manager that understands software, servers, networking, telecom, and web development, and can speak comfortably to technical groups as well as business executives who might not have technology as a core competency.My goal now is to expand my business skill building upon my technical side, continuing to manage people, projects, and processes.
