probably only missed 2 weeks of employment in over 20+ years of my career due
to illness. Seriously! I am in excellent health, have incredible energy and
work ethic and can handle any role from electronics technician, through Unix

have developed software for various manufacturing or production oriented
operations, and software design and development is my forte and love. I enjoy a
team technical lead and PM position,
and am wonderful at coordinating work and conveying information to staff and
management.
