Career Bio
Over my career I have worked for international businesses, small businesses and have run my own business. This has given me the opportunity to experience all manner of team and independent working philosophies as an entry level employee to upper management. My entire career has found me in some sort of creative designer or leadership role in the engineering, printing, marketing and internet fields.
My strengths include being a problem solver and a “quick study” with exceptional analytical, communication and team leadership skills. I have 2 decades of experience in multiple fields, the three primary being Mechanical Engineering, Visual Communication and Information Technology. I achieved awards as early as age 14 (Broome County Industrial Arts) and later a Chase Manhattan Design award. Before my current vocation I was employed by WHS Robotics (Robotic Material Handling), Universal Instruments (Subsidiary of Dover - High Speed Circuit Board Component Placement), IBM (Industrial/Chemical Piping Facility Plans), Raymond Corporation (Subsidiary of Toyota – Electric Computer Controlled Narrow Aisle Material Handling), and Forbes (Art Director).
In 2003, two years after attending Temple University, I formed my own Web Development and Marketing company, Loafin’ Tree LLC whose clients include Motorola, Certainteed (Subsidiary of Saint-Gobain), Virginia Department of Health, Rockingham Memorial Hospital, International Mind, Brain and Education Society as well as many other government and non-profit organizations.
I received several scholarships to attend Temple University with a 3.9 GPA. My aptitude in Art History (4.1 GPA) won me an invitation to join an expedition of Archeology field work in Javols, France among Doctoral students in my freshman year. I am active in the art community with many paintings and photography commissions and have done extensive volunteer work for religious organizations, economic development corporations, art galleries, the deaf community and other local entities in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania. I have over a decade of public speaking experience. I speak French and American Sign Language, I've acted as the Technical Director for a Philadelphia start-up company, CloudCaps and recently wrote a monthly technical column for The Fallser with an associated blog.
