electronics and computer switching systems specialist, u.s. air force top secret/ssbi this was awesome. i got to cut my teeth on some really cutting edge technology back in the early days of computing. the most useful thing i took away from the experience was the ability to troubleshoot anything. and i mean anything.

since 1989, i have been on a journey of constant learning. by always seeking knowledge, i've managed to pick up a few letters along the way. A.A. received at Kilgore College after nearly 15 years of hard work. my bachelor's is a B.A.A.S from the University of Texas at Tyler, focusing on industrial technology. that degree is complemented by an M.B.A. also from UT Tyler, with an intense focus on strategy and policy and management science. not to let momentum subside, i also garnered a M.Ed. in educational technology from Texas A&M. all of these academic pursuits have built me to my current work as a doctoral student at UT Tyler where i am pursing a Ph.D. in HRD: Organizational Development and Change Management.

all was not lost. during the lost years i majored in things that make me extremely well rounded today. things like: electrical engineering nursing and fine arts [theater & music] these provide me with a broad frame of reference. of course, the subjects inside my degrees are equally as important. these include: industrial technology how and why things work. best practices and tools. strategy and policy how to properly position an orgranization for SUCCESS. management science the data behind business planning. how to analyze and manipulate it. education technology tools for building education at a distance AND leveraging technology for maximal impact to the learner.

every course i have ever taken has taught me something to be used for a greater purpose. that's why i am working on my Ph.D. in HRD: Organization Development and Change Management @ The University of Texas at Tyler. why would i put myself through the rigors of a Ph.D. program? simply put, i want to do one thing: unleash the whole of human potential within the organizations i come in contact with.

this section is dedicated to the little bit of work i've been able to squeeze in over the years. most of it is rudimentary but it has all lead to my being able to produce this site. all of my skills are self-taught with the exception of those basics gathered in the M.Ed. program. even though i have been programming in some form or another since my first BASIC course in 1984, i haven't made the leap to programming as an occupation. that's why i call myself a “bad” programmer. here's some of the things i've been able to put together:

ok...i get it, social media is more than we think it is, but somehow less than what it should be. huh?!? short-story: social media can be confusing at times. nevertheless, i'm available socially at the following outlets: facebook twitter linkedin oh, i'm sure i'll be more socially active in the future, but this is a good start. for all of you programming nuts who want to follow me or see what i'm doing, try forking me @ github you never know what i'm gonna do next.

well...you've found me. If I did it right, it shouldn't have been too hard. you see, i am a top-flight SEO consultant. all of the work i put in on my own profile is what brought you here, but it's the work I can do for you that will put a smile on your face when you leave.
you'd say that that you're probably here because you need to get your page ranked higher in search engine results. i'd say you're wrong.
Did you know that even if you rank 1st on Google, you're still only one out of ten? My goal is to get you ranked as many times and ways as I can on that first page so that you dominate in your market.
You don't want a drill, you want a hole. That is, you don't want a higher page rank, you want more money. To do that you need more people who will spend money on your product or service and you need them to find your contact info.
That's where I come in. I do the work behind the scenes that makes YOU more findable on the internet.
I can make magic happen with something just as simple as a phone number or e-mail address. Give me a shot and let me wow you.
sure you do ;p. who doesn't, right? well, you're in luck. i can be hired outright in fact i can be hired to do any number of things for you and/or your organization.
