Current
Skill Set
  • Design and maintain websites, specializing in database-driven content, online communication, and client control.
  • Lead trainings: website maintenance, online communication, project management, database management, MS Office.
  • Build database applications in Filemaker Pro.
  • Create and manage meeting and event technology.

My background as a programmer, marketing and training director, and software company executive certainly adds a professional touch to my work. I guarantee, though, that all of my work "speaks" in a tone that's clear, friendly and approachable.

My web work includes positions as full-time webmaster, as well as specific web-task contracts. The most cost-efficient use of my skills might include: 1) full-time webmaster on a large, complex site; 2) task-specific contracts for initial design of a web site, marketing campaign, newsletter, or database-backed web feature; 3) a site redesign or makeover.

I'm a great teacher, and I love doing it. I've taught project management at all levels, all MS Office products (especially MS Access), and general courses in online communication, computer literacy, web design, and database design.

I help companies build and upgrade commercial software applications. My combination of communications, management, marketing, design, and technical skills ideally prepares me to assist in "productizing" software applications. In this role, I've negotiated contracts, hired programmers, documented products, created tutorials, managed advertising agencies, produced marketing campaigns, created trade show presences, and acted as company spokesman. I've worked with very large and very small companies, and have learned to be persistent and get the job done, no matter what the circumstances.
