Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! I've thought about starting a blog to share ideas for a while, but, it is one of those things that is easily put on the ever growing "to do" list. So, I'm going to get started now and make and periodically post new blog topics. I listed the topic of this blog as "IT Leadership" - I struggled with the title a bit when I set this up. I plan to share my thoughts on business, management, and leadership, however since much of my experience has been in the IT world, most topics may have a definite bias towards leadership as it relates to the IT arena.

To introduce myself, I have around a decade of experience in the Information Technology and Information Systems world. Throughout this time, I've held progressively larger roles encompassing greater levels of responsibility. My career began as a software developer, focusing on web based business applications. I utilized this expertise to help grow a small telecommunications and IT services company (around 100 employees), serving in the role of Sr. Vice President of Systems, Development, and Provisioning. My primary responsibilities were in the areas of managing our internal operational and financial systems, which were all developed internally. I led the software development team and the provisioning team. I also served as the business unit manager for the company's customer software development operations. I was also responsible for a number of other strategic initiatives for the company. As far as my credential background, I have a bachelors degree in Management and Management Information Systems, am currently a little over half way through an MBA degree, and am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).

So, welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy reading my experiences and view points on various topics. Of course, everything I write about represents my opinions and view only and does not necessarily represent the view point of any organization or business that I may currently or previously have been affiliated. I welcome feedback so encourage people to share your ideas on the topics posted, and would welcome any suggestions on new blog topics.
