Present:
Senior Financial Representative for (Sorry my brokerage firm made me take all
references to them off my site). Cincinnati, OH I have been with the Firm since the mid
90's. I have made it through 2 RIF's and am still very happy working here. In
this current life, I have enjoyed the fast, intensely frustrating markets and
the personalities involved in it. I have had the opportunity to rub elbows with
Dick Grasso (say what you will, he kept the NYSE together and created value for
them), nameless floor traders (now I understand why they wear those outrageous
jackets) and a host of other people big and small that make the market work. In
my current position I work with a small group of brokers (6 of us in the ENTIRE
firm)that specialize in working with a high net worth (or closet high net worth)
clients. I have also worked with this firm as a Sales Rep, Trader, Trading
Helpdesk Rep and have still managed to hold onto the most coveted position of
all.. chief smartass.
1995-1997
Text Editor with the
Center for Corporate Law
at the College of Law, University of Cincinnati, this is where I learned what
little I know of HTML, SGML and Perl. As it has been several years since I have
been involved with marking up language, my pages are not nearly as advanced as
they were once. Any tips are welcome here. I learned more at CETL than I have
nearly anywhere.
1992-1995
Technical Sales Manager at DTI... This job has more to it than I care to go into
here, but if you are an employer and want to know more, drop me a line and I
will enlighten you. During my experience there I learned how to apply telemetry
and PLC based controls to industrial and municipal control problems. My last
project there was to design and set up a remote operated
water plant
that was controlled from 5 miles away from a managers desk via an network
interface. Pretty cool applications of technology if you ask me.
1990-1992
Specialist with
Logicon Technical Services
at WPAFB
in Dayton,
OH. My experiences there were great, I started
in the mailroom here... ended up doing support work for the contracts we had in
the early 90's (can you say Mid-East support? I knew you could). I was also
fortunate enough to be able to spend time in the lab where the real work was
done. Ask me how to procure a sheet of titanium in under 1 hr from request to
milling. Yes, it can be done if you have the open purchase order and a credit
rating that rivals GE.
