SUMMARY

I am looking for a job opportunity that would make use of my knowledge of PC repair, webserver administration and information technology.

I have administered domain-based websites on dedicated servers for over 5 years, at least one of which having a regular visitor count at times exceeding 25,000 unique visitors in a single day. As for firsthand computer repair experience, I have trained other PC repair professionals, both in-store and in-home, at times personally supervising the operations of 3 or more staff, having personally serviced over 1,500 personal computers. Likewise I am very familiar with operational requirements of a PC service outlet, such as meeting budget and productivity goals.

Outside of this I have work history or firsthand experience in the fields of retail sales, customer service, accounting and law.

Here is a list of sites I have previously worked on with details on each project. You will notice that all websites I develop are designed to be self-maintained by their respective caretakers with minimal need for continued supervision by myself.

pjfi.org

The pjfi.org website also employs a forum to coordinate volunteer activities as well as a donation portal to receive and process financial contributions.
Status: Ongoing

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Passed House Bill 2576 in the Kansas State Legislature

Summary: In May, 2006 I completed passage of a bill I contributed to in the Kansas State Legislature increasing minimum criminal penalties for those found soliciting underage children for sex. This was in conjunction with my work with the non-profit Perverted-Justice Foundation Inc. My sponsor for the bill was Kansas House Representative Jim Yonally (R). The bill as I wrote it was initially proposed by Mr. Yonally on its own, but was later adopted into a larger bill by Rep. Kilpatrick, becoming House Bill 2576.

Lead Tech for Perverted-Justice Foundation Inc.

Summary: The 503c non-profit Perverted-Justice Foundation Inc. helps work with law enforcement and the community to locate, expose and prosecute child predators online. It also helps train law enforcement to be more effective at conducting stings and raids to facilitate prosecution efforts. I am their main systems administrator and thus have earned a great degree of understanding of computer systems, web services such as websites and email, and information security. I have been with the organization since its inception in 2003.
