"I am a high-energy, tenacious problem solver and confident, effective communicator and trainer with over 35 years of information technology and training/management experience. I train on a wide range of applications (MS Office, Google, and others), databases, and general computer or technology concerns and approaches.

My style is not generally "instructor led classes" but rather is over-the-shoulder coaching to solve specific problems. I'm happy to develop and present class-led instruction as requested. I am the Founder/Owner of my own computer consulting firm.

I have a BA in International Studies from the University of Washington, have completed various appropriate coursework at UCLA, and have both attended and taught a number of corporate courses and seminars. I have been remote-teaching and training for over 15 years and have successfully coached ages ranging from children to retired Senior Executives.

My primary method of instruction is to have the student present a problem or challenge they are trying to solve, and I will work with them "over the shoulder" to work through the problem and answer questions.

I will layer in extra pieces of information and instruction based on things we find along the way or in answer to questions during a highly interactive session based on student-driven objectives." less...
