About Me
The guy who figures it out
I started my career as a clerk manually updating ledgers by hand. I discovered Lotus 123, taught myself, and converted the whole system to spreadsheets. Then to dBase. Then to a full networked database that's still running today — over 30 years later.
That's been my whole career: find the problem, learn what I need to learn, and fix it. I've covered IT, production scheduling, purchasing, and accounting functions — not because it was my job, but because the company needed it done.
I work best with small businesses because I understand the reality: you can't afford a five-person IT department, you need one reliable person who knows your systems and picks up the phone.
