OBJECTIVE       To obtain a position in which I can use the
                knowledge, training and skill I have acquired
                and to be challenged to learn and grow
                further.

PERSONAL        I grew up in Frankenmuth, Michigan, the
                state's prime tourist community.  My father
                was a chemical engineer and my mother was a
                high school mathematics teacher.  I worked at
                many jobs to help finance my college
                education.  I recently had the opportunity to
                travel extensively through Europe.

EDUCATION

                Kalamazoo, Michigan
                Major:  Computer Systems Engineering

                My Senior Design Project was an educational
                8-bit parallel computer implemented using
                Altera EPLDs, LEDs displayed register
                contents.  A major change from normal
                computer architecture was a modular Register
                Transfer Logic system.  The entire project
                was constructed on 50 etched circuit boards.

                500 data bases, using Oracle, Spires, Nomad,
                and PL/I, were reviewed for data field
                standardization. Wrote an Oracle Card

                specific gravity, lead content, etc.  Other
                duties included helping in the preparation of
                the monthly report, testing new devices,
                shipping and receiving of samples,
