Since being layed off in the slow economy of 2009, I have been training to be a Microsoft Certified Technician. I hope that this training accents my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration recently received from the University of Missouri - Kansas City. The training in C#.net, ASP.net, and SQL Server also included learning Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express. In the process of designing this web site, I was able to utilize my knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create several of the images located here. With the addition of a Flash file of my own design (located on the projects page) I have gained some insight to new ideas and concepts. Please feel free to download a copy of my RESUME in pdf format.

While training at Centriq, I tried to find time for my favorite past-time: cycling. Within this same time frame, I have also helped to organize the Greater Liberty Ride for MS. This was our 7th year for this event and it was a great success. We had 182 riders, 6 rest stops, an abundance of food and volunteers and beautiful weather (even if it was a bit windy). Most of the volunteers were compliments of Farm Bureau Insurance of Missouri. Food and drinks were donated by McDonalds and Price Chopper. There were numerous other companies that donated items or money, all to aide us in raising money to fight Multiple Sclerosis.
