                          Objectives

I am looking for a management position which permits me to build on
my strengths. 

I have managed groups of up to 15 engineering software developers.
I have managed projects and brought them in on schedule and on
budget. 

I have over 15 years of experience in the Training Devices
(simulators) field and have maintained my technical programming
proficiency even while spending most of my efforts managing others.

As a project manager, I have concentrated on meeting project goals
(technical, schedule and cost) and have used my technical
background to evaluate the effects different approaches might have
on the goals. I also maintain a top level systems view of a project
and keep communication channels open between developers.
