PERSONAL
American born and raised, but have self-taught intermediate language skills in Russian. I have 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 developer and architect, to project manager. Of course, most of my career I 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.
