Initially, my fascination with computers was my hobby. My first computer was a Radio Shack color computer. (Remember the ones with the keys that looked like chicklets). I saved my first program on a cassette tape. When I upgraded to dual floppy drives (the 5.25" ones) I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!

There was no Internet back then: no web sites, no chat rooms and no email!

For me, writing a computer program was (and still is) a game.

I am fluent in the following computer languages:

• Clipper (dBase)
• Basic, Visual Basic
• PowerBuilder
• Java
• C#, .Net Framework
• HTML, CSS, XML, Javascript, VBScript

I have developed applications using the following back-end databases:

• Oracle
• SQL*Server
• MS Access

I have developed numerous applications in my 15+ years of consulting. Here are some of the highlights:

• Schedule Maker: Develped, supported and marketed software to schedule helpers for church services and school events. (Clipper)
• File Handler: Designed and developed a software solution to track insurance claims for JW Software. (PowerBuilder)
• Shop Floor Systems: Designed and developed 2 shop floor systems for Monsanto. (PowerBuilder)
• Haht Store Front: Customized the Haht Store front to interface with a custom SAP solution. (Java)
• Lab System: Designed and developed a lab system to record test results and report to customers (major airlines) (ASP.Net)
• Multi-Language Tool: Designed and developed a tool for multi-language web sites. This tool generates a spread-sheet for the translator. It then imports the translations and generates the web site in the other language. (ASP.Net)
• DbSmartConfig: Designed and developed a template-driven web builder tool for DbSmartSite.com.
