I have been fortunate enough to have had 4 careers. After college
I started my first career in Finance, spending 20 years in the
discipline and
14 of it with First Interstate Bank (now Wells Fargo). From
Assistant Bank Branch Manager through Commercial Credit to Financial
Consultant I have experience in many aspects of Finance. In
addition to Credit Analysis, I also worked on several merger and
acquisition projects and in my final years was doing ad hoc analysis in
various fields for the bank's holding company working for the Board of
Directors. I also completed my Masters in Business at USC while
with the bank.
I took off a little time to be home with my kids as they entered middle
school. I went back to school to get a Teaching Credential and
taught Math for a few years until my kids were so busy that they were
getting home later than I was.
I found myself with an opportunity to get into Computer Programming with
a Top Gun program that trained experienced professionals in programming
with a short 4 month intense romp through all the major programming
languages being used in the late 90's. I interned with Salt River
Project for 9 months and finally became an employee where I spent
the 10 years until I retired in from SRP in 2011. Since then I have been working as a software developer contractor. My most recent stints were with Wells Fargo and
Carollo Engineering.
In May 2011 I upgraded my programming skills with courses in
.NET 4.0 Web, Windows, ADO, and Windows Communications Foundation
courses. I also earned several Microsoft Certifications in
2011 including MCT. With my last contract job I added working
with SharePoint 2007 and developing web parts and sites.
I am now looking at getting back in to full time work as a developer or IT trainer.
