Biographical Sketch: I am currently working on a long term assignment as a Senior IBM Systems Programming Consultant. I have primarily worked in Mainframe Communications during my career. I started in the IT Business as a Third Shift Computer Operator while attending college. I came out of Operations to be an Applications Programmer before eventually moving into Systems Programming.
