Dear Sirs:

I have 3 years of software experience with the University of South
Carolina, 1 year of of software experience with Midlands Technical
College, 1.5 years of digital hardware experience as a technician with
NCR, and 0.5 years of analog hardware experience with WLTR-FM.

While I worked for Primerica Financial Services I held South Carolina
Life Insurance and Accident and Health Insurance licenses.  My
licenses are still valid.

I have a B.S. Magna Cum Laude in Electrical Engineering Technology
(GPA=3.735/4.000) from South Carolina State College and an A.S. in
Electrical Engineering Technology (GPA=3.900/4.000) from Midlands
Technical College. 

While my current position is at the University of South Carolina, I
have been full-time permanent staff, not a student.  I am not entry level.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Peter H. Hoffman
