The driving forces in my life are quality, satisfaction, and caring about people. My strongest skills revolve around visual and audial communication, organization, and planning. I love to facilitate project teams from brainstorming and conceptualization all the way through the entire process of reaching a viable solution. I have a proven background in understanding how people think, analyzing their needs, and meeting them. I bring all these talents to bear on any project I'm involved with, and that's what I enjoy doing.

I prefer employment in a dynamic work atmosphere where excellence is acknowledged, encouraged, and rewarded. I prefer positions where I can explore and grow in my management and mentoring skills. I might also consider senior positions in software design, information architecture, content strategy, or usability which have a potential for future growth.

When I read Harlan Ellison's words (to the right) for the first time, his words resonated with some long-held feelings of my own. His insight helped me to grapple with these issues and begin to address them. As a result, I am seeking work with a company that honors excellence in everything that it does.

Perfection. Excellence. What a passionate lover. But once having tasted the lips of excellence, once having given oneself to its perfection, how dreary and burdensome and filled with anomie are the remainder of one's waking hours trapped in the shackled lock-step of the merely ordinary, the barely acceptable, the just okay and not a stroke better.

Sadly, most lives are fashioned on that pattern. Settling for what is possible; buying into the cliché because the towering dream is out of stock; learning how to avoid taking the risk of the dizzying leap.
