2009-05-25T18:59:00.005-05:00

What would you pay if you could get a Technologist, Architect and Consultant all wrapped up in a Business Savvy Package? Don't answer yet cause theirs more....

What if it also includes a Business Analyst, a Requirements Analyst, a Project Manager and a Development Lead all rolled into one? Not yet, there's still more....

How about he specializes in telecommunications and can help you reduce your overall data/voice cost within the first 3 months! He has worked within multiple industries and has led small development initiatives as well $15M projects?

Act now while the supplies last. As far as I can tell there is only one and he wants to stay in Alabama.

References are available on request. I want to work in a team environment where we are all congtributing to the over all success and ROI. I am looking to be challenged in a company where I can have an immediate impact on the bottom line.

What would you expect to pay? Trust me, in this economy I want to work at a great company with great people and hone my craft. I am stupid affordable. Give me a shot.

Well, Hello to all! I have stubbed out this place holder so you will have something to see when you get here. I already have a blog for Funny Stories, Philosophy (of sorts) and one that works as a catch-all. I decided it was time to blog on the work-a-day side of life; hopefully where your passion and your play comes together to fill your coffers.

I have worn multiple hats over the course of my life; even disregarding my personal life. I have been a preacher, a programmer, a telecommunications consultant, a speaker, an e-commerce comsultant, a technical/functional architect for a Fortune 50 company, an entrepreneur, an HR specialist, a writer and a producer.

I have much to offer and many hidden stores to call on. I hope to connect with you. We all have so much to share and to learn.
