Career Biography/History

As I said on the main page, I've been working hard since my graduation from college in 1997 to create value for my employers.

I began my career by spending the first few years programming CAD software before transitioning into a Product Management role.

As a Product Manager, I was responsible on a daily basis for setting the strategy for future projects, assisting with sales engagements, managing customer relationships and activities, and defining a future vision for the products under my direction.

Recently, I've been working in a marketing capacity where I enjoy using my creative skills to support sales, give webinars and presentations, support events, engage on social media, and generally communicate to the marketplace about our solutions.

Here is some useless trivia... I have worked for 5 different companies in the software industry without ever leaving my chair, due to a series of company name changes and acquisitions.

In that time I've seen the industry move from UNIX workstations to a PC-centric environment and from Fortran to C++ and beyond, and along the way I've worked to keep my skills current so that I can continue to bring value to the companies for which I've worked and the customers we service.
