About me:

..



I live in Cleveland, but born in Tennessee. I am a 1980 high school graduate of Elyria High. I went to college several times starting 1981 in nursing at LCCC, but did not finish the program due to no support system.



I began studying computer operations in 1983 at CCC west location, but did not finish that program. Then in 1985 began a program at TTI studying electronics, telecommunications, and robotics, which I loved with a passion. Was not able to secure a job without any experience and the school leads did not work out. Then in 1989 began college courses in Computer Information Systems with an emphasis in programming, mainly COBOL on a Honeywell mainframe. Took many extra computer classes such as Word, spreadsheets, and AutoCAD.

Beginning in 1990, learned every little hardware bit and byte from a great mentor. Began building PC and server systems, helping people in the computer labs, and continually learning everything technical about computers that I could get my hands on.

After graduation worked several contracts installing, configuring, monitoring, on-site or phone technician, etc. Today continuing my studies on line learning and getting involved in all the latest Internet craze, and how technology in many facets are used in everyday life all around the world now.

I want to post this shout out to a special man. Hi Bill Stillion of Swigor Coil. I wish he wanted intimate happiness in his life. He really is a very special man, but he does not know it.



So you are 20 or 30 something, going to college, or working in your first (keyword first) career and doing fantastic. Now what? Well don't repeat the past generations by totally depending on your first career to 'take care of everything in your future.' NOT! Take advantage of that career to setup a future NOW, not later. Here is my first of many tips to help people really look at their path as our world changes each day.

I LOVE this video and the animation in it. I will learn how to do that too :) This production is great. The music beat goes real well with the animation. I just can't say enough and love watching it over and over again :) Kudos goes out to the young man who produced this video. May he have a long and prosperous life respecting and utilizing his special talents. I hope he finds someone who treats him well. It is enlightening to see young people honor their talents and give back to society. I wish my brother honored his artistic gift as much.

I feel now is the time Americans need to stick together as a people of community and help each other. The government will NOT take care of you in your later years, or any other time, for that matter. It is up to you to read, listen, and make inteligent decisions for yourself, as to whom you associate with, and how you are going to take care of responsibilities in your life. We need more community and less government these days. Where will your life be in 5 to 10 years from now? What bricks did you setup in your path from here to there?

My online business takes care of all the order, payment, and shipping details (which I absolutely love), while I take care of the customer service needs. That is a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.
Do you have any idea how much is involved in ordering, collecting payments, legal stuff, and shipping? It took both IBM and Microsoft to create and maintain my online website mall backbone that has millions of pages......and the corporation brings in over a billion a year. I have an online franchise, plus they have it setup to work offline as well.

People in companies work full-time jobs in each area (legal, accounting, shipping, etc) separately, spending years putting such a huge company together. It takes even more time to stay successful, which they have done for over 50 years now. I don't have three full-time hours available to handle such details on my own.

I love this business where they are taking care of so much for me, especially since the cost is below $60 a year for doing it.

I prefer to spend more time concentrating on the millions of product details and helping people instead. I have many years of customer service experience from retail, to phone, to technical helpdesk. Now it can all come together full circle in my own business ventures.

My mall is one franchise of that corporation where I take care of customer service, and then in return earn profits on retail sales, earn bonuses on business volume, plus earn a percent on anyone who would like to own a franchise under me. This type of franchising is "community based" where people help each other, not just corporate based such as all the other franchises you may know like the fast food ones.

I want to serve people with integrity for many years to come, therefore I like to ask lots of questions in order to relate to their needs better.

After you setup a free customer account it will remain active as long as you order something at least once per year. Please contact me with all your questions anytime at 216.939.9656. I can take care of your customer service questions no matter where you are in the United States or Canada.

I even have a webcam if you prefer to see me while we are talking. I can help you across the globe too, but it is much more difficult business wise. We can be friends though and chat anytime.

I love smiles and hugs. The world needs more of them.

This is an overview of my resume' and background. Basically I have a passion for learning, love forensics, and figuring out the best solutions to problems. My brain constantly thinks that way day and night. It seems to never give me a break! Lately I have ideas on lifecasting equipment and marketing using the same concept.

On the upside I always learned how to learn my entire life, which is why I always have hope of success in spite of diversities.

On the downside my gender is always challenging when dealing with the majority of people who predispose me as nontechnical, or worse, disrespect my technical nature. People usually push some type of emotional things behind my decision making, when in my mind decisions, reactions, and thinking are based on logic and cognitive thinking. I feel like a minority when people react this way. When I was young I had no idea I was different that way, but now I know.

My personal interests include dancing which to me is the same as breathing. I can dance while doing anything! I love rollerblading but need to find people to go with, for I am not one to go out entertaining alone. I have a bicycle and love biking too.

I like exercising at the gym, but need a membership of course. I wish I had a membership at Fitworks, or any other place who has the FitLinks system on the machines. That systems monitors your progress as you use the machines. A complete personalized training system is programmed into your card so the your then receive feedback on your personal workout efforts.

I have a small disabilty so there are a couple things I can't do, but I always try to do whatever I can first. My disability is not a black and white distinction, plus I always hide it around people for two reasons. I don't want anyone taking advantage of it against me or using it to babysit over me. I really prefer pride in managing it on my own whenever possible. I don't know how it will react to activities until I do them. That makes it impossible to evaluate ahead of time before working on a labor job. On the other hand when I specify what I can't do, people always have a tendency to try to "tell he how to try" as if it is some type of emotional confidence issue. No, it is a technical issue based on my physical disability they don't know about. That always makes it hard because I don't like telling them about it, or else then they treat me differently as if I'm handicapped, or else they take advantage of it for their own greedy needs and bully me out of a job.

I also love cooking, baking, grilling, and anything else where experimenting with food dishes.

I love animals of all types, but do not like dogs barking constantly, or cats up on top of the counter. Animal owners should be more responsible if they want to have an animal, or else they don't deserve to have them. Neither cat I have every owned ever jumped up on stuff after being told not too many times. I admit though there are cats who refuse to learn. They end up outside if they won't listen. It is not that hard to teach most cats. I had one for many years. I miss Toby.

I would love to go hangliding over the lake on a warm sunny day, or riding in a hot air balloon, or going on a cross country skiing adventure. I skiied down a mountain and it was fun. I have another previous skiing story. The significance of successfully going down the mountain is much greater than you know. It was breathtaking too. I just can't handle the ice though, which is more based on my disability problem. It prevents me from picking myself up when I fall. I had to keep depending on strangers whenever I fell on the mountain, and then try to maintain balance before continuing.
