To Whom It May Concern....


I am seeking a position with a healthy R&D or other firm which would offer
opportunities to use the object-oriented paradigm towards design and
development of an interesting project.  I have outstanding creative,
programming, and "people" skills that I am seeking to put to their
best use.  I have experience with large-project configuration management,
documentation, and project management, as well as a forte for
leadership.  I feel I am a very well-rounded person, energetic, and
always interested in Making A Difference.... feel free to ask any of
my previous employers.  I would enjoy either a technical or low-level
management position where the pace is challenging, but not
life-consuming... I believe life is more than a job.

Currently I am in an almost-satisfying position as a contracted
employee at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA, and am
seeking a move to the private corporate sector for financial and
career reasons.

Please find my resume below.
