Professional Highlights 
Twenty plus years of progressive success with management & technology consulting with a regional bank holding company, my focus included building customer relationships, strengthening troubled relationships, new technology implementation, exceptional problem determination and resolution, and strengthening intra company communications and relations.

Corporate experience also includes financial analysis, lending money, bank credit analysis, project management and strategic technology planning, financial analysis of communications expenses & technology, 7/24 customer support systems, while still always trying to touch people’s hearts and minds despite the barriers of technology.
