Past relevant work experience: I spent 22 years on active duty in the Naval Reserve where my administrative and clerical duties allowed me to become ad on-site expert with a variety of computer applications on systems from desktop units, to LANs, to phone-in nationwide systems.
While serving in New Orleans in 1983 , I was instrumental in testing and presenting to the field an improved, computer-based, Active Duty for Training application submission and approval system.
Later, while assigned to a mine-sweeper out of Seattle from 1987-1990, I was selected to represent the group commander and travel among it's six ships providing hands-on training to clerical personnel thrust into action by the Iran - Iraq crisis. My task was to teach the effective production of documents and reports from the IBM 860 word-processor as well as a variety of software on the newly acquired Zenith 200 series PCs.
My next assignment, from 1990-1993, took me to staff duty in Dallas TX where I was the advisor to the region's electronic bulletin board system and became certified by the Chief of Naval Reserve as an instructor for it's computer-based pay and personnel reporting system called RSTARS. During this period I also conducted on-site and workshop training on basic computer concepts as well as the applications currently in use. This bore fruit in the use of computers to support activation efforts in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. I was awarded a Navy Commendation Medal for my contribution to the success of these training efforts.
Prior to my retirement, I was stationed here in Columbus where I continued to supervise technical experts along with providing training in the effective use of computer software.
To summarize, I have always worked myself into positions where I could act to help people work smarter through computers. My love of computing, augmented by formal and in-formal training in programming concepts, along my extensive field experience in working with people make me a vital player; whether in application use, application development, or managing production and support teams.
