I'm a strong believer that actions and results speak louder than words. At the end of the day, it's really about what you've accomplished with personal integrity and respect for others. A key guiding principle that stays with me constantly is that "you reap what you sow". I always try to sow the best for myself and others.
Proven 25-year track record for success.
I started my career as a programmer right out of college (BA/Math from UNC-Chapel Hill) and was consistently promoted up through the ranks to that of Vice President of Development for Computer Associates - one of the world's largest software solution companies. The respect and appreciation earned along the way from my colleagues, clients, and employers are what I value most. While I can be tough if necessary, it is always played against a background of fairness and professionalism. The roots of my success are staying focused and getting the job done through exhibiting and encouraging good listening skills, team and consensus building, innovative approaches, collaboration, organization, and mutual respect. Another key element of my success is that while having a technical background and analytical orientation, I can relate information to and communicate effectively with those who do not have a technical frame of reference - again serving as a "bridge" between business and technology. I invite you to view my resume for more details on my professional background.

Variety of roles and responsibilities.
Throughout my employment career, I was consistently singled out for roles of management and leadership in a variety of venues: projects, software products, quality assurance, vendor relationships, technical support, software implementations, software development (including VP), and corporate VP. These roles included staffing, staff development, product, and budgetary responsibilities. In addition, I have been integrally involved in business development, account management, strategic OEM relationship development and management, and both direct and indirect sales/marketing initiatives. I continue to serve as mentor and coach as part of my practice and always strive to demonstrate role-model behaviors and effective leadership. It is my nature and expectation of passed performance to be a key player and significant contributor.
