I have been in the IT field for 15 years. I started programming on IBM's with punch card readers in the late 1970's and over the years have worked with firms in defense, healthcare, insurance, and finance.

I have extensive experience in C, Visual Basic, and Sybase/SQL Server. I've been working with IBM MQ Series for the past nine months.

My certifications include both MCSE and MCSD. I was in the group of first MCSD's awarded by Microsoft. I also received my Sybase beta training in 1986 from Bob Epstein in the original Sybase offices in Berkeley, CA.
