the Mission I specialize in support for professional and home users who prefer using Apple Macintosh Computer Systems, for telephone (iPhone) Audio Visual, Printing, Publishing and General use. Integrating Macs in a compatible environment with Windows or Unix freindly server based systems. “I’d like to become one of the key assets to your creative business success - increased productivity applying the skills from an extensive background in the graphic arts, A/V engineering, directing, producing, magazine publishing and a wide range of network management, computer hardware and software experience”. |

| As a Director of Communications, Production Manager or Independent Consultant for many creative environments such as in publishing, advertising, music, web, video editing or TV production. All of my skills are cross platform, with a special emphasis on Macintosh professional systems. My forte is providing top notch management, technical support, service, direction, web and network development or communications services. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll know where to find it.
I possess a wide array of skills in both hardware and software - workstation or laptop portable technical experience, and iPhone or iPod operations and production. Ranging from print production support, broadcast support, web development through system administration and network engineering to Mac or Windows help desk support. I have a keen eye for detail and the knowledge to produce High-RES PDF documents most printers use today. |
