First, I'm going to tell you that I'm not a computer geek. Yes, I do enjoy playing with computers, and when I found this opportunity to mix what I like as a hobby with what I do as a profession, and still make a living, I couldn't say no.

I'm a small-town boy from northern Iowa, who ended up in Houston after spending many years working in the corporate world here in the United States and internationally. In fact, I spent the last 15 years working in South America. While most of my experience was in financial management, I've always leaned toward making the best use of computer technology and this sideline hobby became a passion that overflowed into my work, finally becoming the primary focus of my work in my last position as Manager of Business Systems and Processes for a large oil and gas project in Venezuela.

My major emphasis throughout my whole career was in providing good service to my clients, whether external vendors and clients or internal departments and employees. At the same time, my educational training and work experience helped to shape my philosophy towards recognizing and pursuing activities that made financial sense. Here is where my "hobby" really began to integrate with my profession, and I realized quickly that the internet wave is only going to grow and become more and more important in how businesses generate future profits.

I'm in a perfect position to help businesses ride that wave and ensure that they maintain a positive internet presence in order to capitalize on the tremendous growth opportunities we see going forward. There are a million guys out there creating cheap web pages, working from dorm rooms or make-shift offices. Unfortunately, most of those guys are Here Today, Gone Tomorrow-ers. And what businesses require are partners with an interest in learning your business needs and trends, and being able to provide solutions over a long term, not just a short-term fix and a "Thanks for the check, I’m outta here." When something goes wrong or needs enhanced, you don’t need to be spending time and money tracking that guy down and then probably finding someone else to pick up the ball. You need someone who is just a phone call away and already probably understands what you need. Well, that could be me!!

So, here’s what I can offer you:

ü Business Analysis - someone who will take the time to learn your business and identify needs, opportunities and strategies for a long-term solution that is flexible enough to grow with your business.

ü Financial Expertise – to help you make a sound decision on your investment and not simply spend money.

ü A Consultant – together we can analyze business processes, transaction flows, documentation requirements, etc. and find ways to make technology work for you to reduce costs and increase profits. If you are going to have a website anyway, why not use it as a base for increased functionality, such as intranets or extranets, that help improve on ROI?

ü Multi-Language Capability – I also speak Spanish and Portuguese, and through our Production Centers located worldwide, we can help design solutions that can fit your organization, wherever needed.

In other words, I don’t just do websites. I can work with you to resolve problems and find solutions for many everyday business issues. Give me a call and we can discuss your objectives and how WSI can help achieve them.
