After completing a 4 year stint with the US Army as a Corporal in both Air Traffic Control and Artillery Units, and, after working in the Research Laboratory field for such companies as Tennessee Eastman Kodak (Powder Coating Research) and BASF (Advanced Materials Research), I decided to change my career to Information Technology. After graduating from Dover Business College in March of 1996 with a 3.7 GPA, with honors in Systems/Network Engineering, I began a 16 year IT career performing a wide variety of responsibilities, like WAN/LAN Windows and Linux Systems Engineering, Systems Administration, Email (Exchange) Administration, IT augmentation, Data Center Infrastructure Engineering, Systems Security, Disaster Recovery remediation, implementation, development and integration, and VP of Technology, with multiple assignments including Pomeroy.com, SmartSource-inc.com, NEC, iQor/IRMC/IntelliRisk, Ajilon/Adecco, Microsoft, ComputerNS.com, RHT.com (NY and NJ offices), CNCNJ.com, Quikteks.com, Dell.com, iBeam Broadcasting, NextVenue.com, DCi, and Panurgy.com/CNS.com.

• I have managed personnel in both IT and as an US Army Corporal (E4), at times leading teams of 10 or more personnel.
