Welcome to my web site. This site is my ongoing project intended
to inform visitors about my professional abilities and ways in which my
services can help to create business value.
I am a strong believer that it is possible to more rapidly establish
higher levels of trust in information online than in the physical world.
My approach for this web site is to leverage the capabilities of the world
wide web, whenever practical, to support my self-assertions with linked
proof points.
Being a top down thinker who likes to begin by understanding concepts
before addressing the details, my introduction provides insight into
the essence of my personality. If you are familiar with Myers-Briggs'
personality classification system, I am an ENTP
- "Rational Inventor", with the following attributes:
-
Creative problem solving;
-
Ingenuity and ability to improvise;
-
Innovation and impersonal analysis;
-
Generate new and innovative approaches to solving problems;
-
Implement my innovative solutions to improve business results;
-
Ability to improvise and operate in a spontaneous way;
-
Confident to achieve things not commonly accepted as possible;
-
Work best with a succession of stimulating, high energy projects that
expand business opportunities;
-
Seek professional and personal power, and opportunities to interact
with influential people; and
-
Entertaining and inspirational public speaker.
The remaining sections of my web site provide
specific examples of how I have applied these general attributes throughout
my professional career.
