Former university professor turned freelancer in January 1996. Contracted for over 27 years to multiple international organizations to train, coach, and otherwise guide their IT departments, especially involving enterprise automation, which I've taught internationally for the past 20+ years to dozens of government entities and major corporations. I recently retired from my primary consulting practice, but still lead online IT and automation programming seminars regularly from my private studio in the vast nothingness of the great South Plains of west Texas.
