I am an seasoned technology and sales professional who has worked in both pre-sales and post-sales roles and in Customer Operations roles over my career. I am a self starter who works well both independently and in a team environment. I have been successful at every step of my career - whether it was helping launch the Iridium Satellite System while at Motorola SATCOM or taking a startup Internet Service Provider (softAware) to the next level to be acquired or selling into Enterprise, SMB, and SLED customers at Hughes, EMC, Brocade, Broadcom and Faction. I feel that I am an asset to any organization that I join. I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line. It sometimes seems like we reach a fever pitch in news coverage throughout the week.
Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
