Career Objective

I'd truly prefer a long-term position. While I may take short-term contracts to increase resources or bridge commitments, I'm interested in keeping a leadership role within a corporate or government entity that can take advantage of my years of hands-on experience in diverse projects and expertise in setting up self-steering and self-sustaining environments with my knowledge of management, administration, security, design and my talent of analysis and optimization. I would like something to invest into and a place to make a commitment to as much as they make a commitment to me.

Management is simply another aspect to the overall goal of making something happen Giving a great product.
