A Modern Day MacGyver
You will never meet another like me ...
I love working with people, speaking, teaching and training, and personal coaching, to help someonee find their strengths and their gifts, encouraging them and lifting them up. I learn fast, and I also specialize in writing, speaking, radio, video technology, and in the IT field. I have worked with LINUX, macOS and Windows; specializing in shell scripting and batch files, web design, online personalities and social profiles, and process automation ... I am a writer, a photographer, an IT virtual systems and networking engineer, a developer and a problem solver, focused on finding the answers to problems, and implementing solutions, for those who work in the virtual world ... on the GRID!
A director at Dell Computers once told me I disproved the old saying … “Jack of all trades is a master of none”. He noticed how I work and learn, and quickly adapt to situations and needs, finding solutions others cannot see. I strive to master whatever I am doing, to become a dependable resource for that which I am assigned. I work to excel in what I do, so that I am also able to help my teammates, should they need help. I am not a one man show, but a breath of life to those I work with! He called me a modern day “MacGyver”.
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. Someone very close to me once told me that the whole learning process is based around that. If you're not making mistakes, you're probably not learning much. Well, I learn from them, and work to avoid similar mistakes ahead. I am a "teacher" type, who is also teachable. I actually want tolearn, and I love to share what I've learned.
