Experience

Prior to going into business for myself, I spent more than eight years as Lead Technology Trainer for CompUSA in Atlanta, GA. During that time, I designed and delivered computer training to hundreds of corporate and private clients. The highly effective and versatile training method I developed can be adapted smoothly to almost any training environment.

I have also trained employees of the City of Atlanta, Medical College of Georgia, Pike Nurseries, Pulte Homes, IBM, US Department of Education, Electrolux, Verizon Wireless, Sterling Ledet & Associates, Kelleher & Associates, and many more.

In addition to extensive experience creating and delivering custom training classes, I have also worked as a freelance Web Designer for the past several years, and bring a world of practical knowledge and experience into every classroom environment.
