Background

My background as a former Pilot Officer for United Airlines, flight school owner, and flight instructor has served me in my Technology career. Because of the technical aptitude required in becoming a pilot, I found that I was naturally curious and could easily master software and hardware tools, Web site creation and design, and writing for Developers. As a business owner, I could easily organize and manage writing teams, and oversee documentation delivery schedules.
