Personal Statement
	As a combination of programmer, database administrator, network technician, systems administrator, public speaker, and computer security adept, I am looking for a position where I am called upon to use all of my skills to complete the tasks at hand.  My methodology is “use the right tool for the job”, which means that I use a vast variety of tools, ranging from off-the-shelf applications to utilities I’ve programmed for my own use. I am a proponent of designing systems, services, and IT infrastructures to be easier to use and administer over time, avoiding the problem of “just one more hack”.  My work philosophy is to do the job well enough, openly enough, simply enough, and with enough documentation that my personal presence on a project is no longer needed, freeing me to turn my creative skills to other tasks.
