These days it is impossible for one individual to master even a fraction of the vast body of constantly changing and expanding technical knowledge and expertise that may be needed in the field of computer consulting. Nevertheless, I continually strive to remain a generalist - someone who can solve most, if not all, of my clients' information systems issues.

I am an excellent problem solver, and a good listener and communicator. I work well with top and middle management and line staff, one-on-one or in groups.

My skills include:

• More than twenty years experience determining appropriate, cost effective, and reliable solutions for my clients' information systems needs.
• Over thirty years experience in systems analysis and programming in many different computing environments
• Excellent knowledge of business and accounting practices, resulting from five years as co-owner and manager of a small business plus many years working to solve specific corporate and non-profit information technology problems
• Particular expertise in harmoniously helping my clients define their requirements, and design and implement appropriate solutions
• Thirty years experience designing and creating custom database management systems
• Extensive knowledge of administrative computing system needs and solutions at schools, colleges, and non-profits

Industry specialties:

• Small and medium sized manufacturing and wholesale businesses
• Schools and colleges
• Non profits
