My Ideal Job A career in Project Management leveraging project management systems to coordinate and enhance team activities that makes use of my diverse and extensive background in systems engineering, process analysis & automation, project, product and program management, and business leadership. Summary of Experience Geoscience After leaving "High-tech" for education, and then discovering education's trajectory was increasing the distance between my philosophy and that of the "system's", I decided to go back to working in the area of my interests rather than teach about it. So, in January 2007, I took a position with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection as an Environmental Analyst doing Technology & Project Management. This position allowed me to combined my professional and academic interests. In April of 2008, I was voted into the American Meteorological Society as a full member, and am currently working on professional licensure in Project Management (PMP). Five-year experiment in Education When I first retired from "high-tech" in 2001, I decided to explore a possible career in education. I enjoyed being a teaching fellow at Boston University when I was a student in the College of Engineering and many years later enjoyed teaching technology courses for first-year students and research faculty at Umass Medical School in Worcester, MA, where I was a Director. I also wanted to explore a life-long interest in the geosciences beyond the experiences of the several projects I had worked on during my high-tech career. My fond memories of teaching, along with the somewhat more flexible schedule teachers enjoy, led me to explore opportunities in education and allowed me to pursue a masters degree in Geoscience... So, I left "high-tech" to become a Visiting Scholar at the Massachusetts Academy of Math & Science at WPI in Worcester where I taught several programming and operating systems courses and was also responsible for the technology curriculum at the Academy. After 2 years, I left the Academy to teach the Physical Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science), Environmental Science, and Physiology in both high school and middle school settings. Twenty Years in High-Tech Prior to exploring education as a career, I spent some 20 years in High-Tech and received corporate and industry recognition, including PC Magazine's Editors Choice Award. I was published in several technical journals, and was a key contributor to several high-tech start-up corporations on both the East & West coast. I have held such positions as Principal Engineer, Manager, and Director. I had worked with the same management team on several pre-IPO Silicon Valley Start-ups, one of which was purchased by Microsoft Corporation. As a result of that acquisition, I took a year off to once again consult and consider future career options. Before focusing on start-ups, I headed Technical Services for the Object Management Group - the largest software consortium in the world at that time, and had been retained in early 1997 by the US Army - Natick Laboratories to work with Soldier Systems Command in the formulation of the strategic plan for the merger of Soldier Systems Command and Chemical & Biological Defense Command. I had also been retained by the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in late 1994 to manage and deliver Phase One of UMMC's 10 million dollar infrastructure upgrade, and was later appointed to the position of Director of Academic & Research Computing Prior to working with Natick Labs and UMMC, I consulted with, or worked directly for, corporations such as IBM, Xerox, United Technologies, Harris Corporation, Lockheed, etc., and small start-ups, in a variety of technical and business oriented roles. I have participated in raising venture capital from financial and industry groups, have presented testimony in Washington D.C., and participated in several Initial Public Offerings.
