WORK EXPERIENCE &
CURRENT PROJECTS
My work experience spans over twenty years in the
computer field, where I have worked as a software developer, analyst, trainer and
consultant. Most recently, I have consulted and trained organizations on the World Wide
Web (i.e., both navigation and homepage development) and have taught computer
applications to senior division undergraduates in the School of Public Affairs, Penn State University—Harrisburg. I have also taught web page
design to middle school children participating in Kids College, a summer enrichment program sponsored by Penn State Harrisburg
Continuing Education.

I am associate editor and technical advisor for Public Administration and Management: An Interactive Journal, the first academic journal on the Internet devoted to the fields of
public administration and management and am website designer, developer and technical
support for a graduate-level research project in psychology, "Perceptions of
Abuse." This novel project employs a website (i.e., chatroom and interactive mail
forms) for the purpose of data capture, to investigate abuse from the victim’s point
of view. In addition, I have developed a computerized budget reporting system for use in
Pennsylvania local government.
I am currently accepting clients for web page
development and training. Samples of my work can be seen at the following URLs:
