Professional Experience

Dan has almost thirty years of experience in all aspects of computing. As well as being familiar with operating an IBM 519 Mark Sense Reader, manning the computer console for an IBM 370 mainframe, he has held a number of project management positions. Needless to say, Dan enjoys rolling up his sleeves and debugging program code. Perhaps Dan enjoyed his time as a part-time Continuing Education Instructor the most because it gave him a chance to see what was possible with highly motivated students.

Having achieved a Certified Systems Professional (CSP), Dan has also received his ISP designation. Dan is currently engaged in a number of technology startups.
