I am currently a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP.)

CISSP is a vendor-neutral certification governed by the non-profit International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (commonly known as (ISC)²). The (ISC)² has certified over 49,000 information security professionals in more than 120 countries and is formally approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in both their Information Assurance Technical (IAT) and Managerial (IAM) categories. The certification is also endorsed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) as the benchmark for information security.

I also have a lot of experience in web and graphic development and really enjoy promoting business services through multimedia. I like being creative and trying to find new ways to get the message across to best meet my customer's goals.

I have 9 years of web development experience. As Webmaster at America Online, 1998-2001, I managed team to develop corporate help desk web site for 7000 internal staff providing self-service technical information; reduced telephone call volume by 23% and automated customer contact process. I developed and deployed 4 other intranet web sites for corporate departments; developed Cold Fusion web forms for service request routing and two annual web-based customer satisfaction surveys. I was sole webmaster for two years for 12,000 internal staff intranet web site.

I was sole webmaster for Naval Aviation program office PMA205 Training Systems; developed and maintained all html pages, forms, graphics and logos from 2002-2007 for Navy Marine Corps Intranet web site serving the world's second largest network of 400,000 users; ensured compliance to DOD regulations regarding security, sensitive and personal information, copyright and 508 disability accessibility laws.

It takes a lot of work keeping up with the latest technologies so I have to constantly stay in the books, surf the web to see best practices and take classes. I am skilled in Adobe Photoshop for graphic image work; Pinnacle Studio for Video work; MS Frontpage, MS SharePoint Designer and Macromedia Dreamweaver for Web site development. I use a Canon EOS Digital Rebel  camera and JVC digital camcorder.
