Training & Qualifications
I graduated from the University of Alabama in 1987 with a business major and concentration in Information Technology. I got my MBA immediately thereafter (1988). Upon completion of my studies I worked 2 years for the world's largest accounting firm as an IT auditor. In the subsequent 8 years I worked for two of the world’s top 3 business insurance brokerage firms in various software development and marketing positions (primarily in Risk Management Information Systems - RMIS).
Since 1999 my professional efforts have been devoted entirely to Internet technology and related software development. I launched my own design & consulting firm in November of 1999, at the height of the speculative investment frenzy in tech stocks. At the time I was working for an Internet "incubator" company that had secured $10 million in investments for 8 fledgling Internet companies, ranging from an online record label to a video surveillance company. Each was ahead of it's time. And, each was poised for failure with the looming collapse of the Internet investment bubble in late 2000.
2001 was a bad year for most tech companies. The fallout from the market crash and the horrible events of September 11th wiped out most hope for "riding it out" for most Internet startup companies.
I was one of the lucky ones. I was fortunate enough to have a handful of loyal clients who stuck with me during this difficult time. With a lot of hard work, I've managed to carve out a nice and profitable business that has allowed me to be my own boss ever since.
The Internet landscape has changed significantly over the years. But, for those of us who continue to study and embrace emerging Internet technologies, the future is quite promising. "Pie in the sky" Internet dreams have given way to practical and applicable solutions for everyday use. "Dot Com" is no longer a destination. It is the path.
Let me help you to reach your goals.
