Resume.
- God has led me in many wonderful ways over the last several years. He has taught me what it means to love and be loved. He has made me realize my fragilities and why I must depend on him for ALL my needs.
- My favorite bible verse - Psalm 42: 1-2 > As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God......
- When I need daily spiritual support from God, I turn to My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers or Our Daily Bread by Radio Bible Class.
- Lately I have been listening to Andy Stanley's weekly sermons as his sermons speak to me more every time I listen to them.
QoS Networks was an International Telecommunications Company based in Dublin Ireland. In February 2001 when I began began working for them as the resident Sales Engineering supporting the Worldwide Sale and Marketing efforts I quickly came to understand that QoS was two men, a bag of money and a dog. While I was able to provide support for South America, Europe, and Japan, I quickly realized there was no real focus on where they were going or what they were attemping to accomplish.
The telecommunications infrastructure from the outside appears complicated, is a very simple basic flat design. The misconception most new players have with the emerginging arena of telecommunications is an attempt to build a new network without consideration to the current base design, the process, and procedures already in place and working.
This was very true at QoS and with Mr O'Neill. I had to opportunity to work with some of the most wonderful people I have ever known and whom I continue to stay in touch with.
Prior to QoS Networks, I had a wonderful time with Greenwich Technology Partners, White Plains, NY as a Consulting Engineer in their Carrier Branch out of Chantilly, VA. Greenwich Technology Partners focuses exclusively on providing infrastructure architecture services to the Global 2000, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), telecommunications providers and select dot.com companies. The opportunity to join GTP provides the chance to deliver on the 20+ years of telecommunications experience and work with a GREAT group of forward thinking people.
As the 2000 New Year has begun, I have looked back on the past years and am reminded You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, the earth and everything on it - Nehemiah 9:6. Keeping this in mind, I have decided to embark on a career that many have told me I should have done a long time ago. I will be working with Anjan Ghosal of Intellinet Technologies in Melbourne, FL. My endeavor as the Internetwork Solutions Engineer will be to deliver comprehensive SS7 and C7 internetworking solutions. This is an area I have always wanted to be involved in and with the transition from circuit based to packet-based technology it promises to be an exciting endeavor.
I have come to understand during the last three months of 1999, the meaning of " I know the truth, and the truth has set me free" - John 8:32. What ever the Lord allows to happen to me, I know that I will never lose my positive "up beat" optimism as knowing Jesus as my personal savior is more important to me.
I have been reminded by a dear friend Elton Kam of Excel Switching, that "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" - 2 Timothy 1:7. During the last several months, I have been with Lucent Technologies in Naperville, IL as a Network Solutions Consultant. At Lucent, I worked closely with Lucent's newest acquisitions to architect and integrate their products into network solutions for the emerging CLECs.
Prior to Lucent, I was with Excel Switching. Excel has now been acquired by Lucent Technologies. I learned more about telecommunications with Excel than in the past 17 years. The Atlanta Office of Excel had grown from a small executive suite to a Technical Support Center located at 4989 Peachtree Parkway. Working with Don Knight, Excel's Southeast Regional Sales Manager had been GREAT.
Excel's Headquarters are located in Hyannis (Cape Cod), MA. I joined Excel Switching after Summa Four (now Cisco), Excel's direct competition closed their Southeast Regional Sales office in Atlanta, Georgia.
Prior to Summa Four I worked for Hewlett-Packard and "commuted" between the Telecommunication Platform Operations (TPO) Lab in San Jose, California and the Telecommunication Network Operations (TNO) Lab in Grenoble, France with stops in Denver, CO, Dallas, TX, and Atlanta, GA. My work at Hewlett-Packard involved designing and developing for the US Telecommunication Market a Service Control Point (SCP) for use in the Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN).
Prior to Hewlett-Packard, I worked for LDDS WorldCom (formally WilTel) where I was the Southeastern Regional Senior Application Engineer. At WilTel, I was involved with the announcement and marketing of the first Frame Relay network using WilTel's 40,000 miles of fiber optic cable.
Before WilTel and after graduating in 1974 from New York University (Greenwich Village) with a B.S. in Computer Science, I began working with IBM where, yes "I Been Moved". I spent many of my years with IBM in Europe - living initially in Hamburg, Germany, then Windlesham, England with an intermediate stop in Stuttgart, Germany. While on assignment in England, I was responsible for the first internal modem for the IBM PC and in conjunction, developed hardware and software product for Videotex , the first WWW protocol called PRESTEL. Between overseas assignments, I lived in Boca Raton, Florida where I still visit to see if the Camino Real Bridge is up or down.
I spent my formidable years attending in Verona, NJ where I attended Verona High School and graduated in 1964. During my high school years I enjoyed playing Ice Hockey and as the manager of the award winning Soccer team in 1963 and 1964. I was also a member of the Verona Auxiliary Fire Department.
I have been a contributing author to many books, but my most enjoyable writing was for the "Multimedia Networking Handbook". My chapter Designing and Managing the Multimedia Network was the first of my many writing endeavors I will be making as I have been bitten by the writing bug.
I have spent many wonderful hours rafting the many rivers here in the US. My favorite adventure was the Arkansas River in Canon City, Colorado. Some pictures during one of my many trips with my son after our day of rafting. Here is another just before I rode the Royal Gorge with Erik.
I have returned several times to Cape Cod and visited my "Home away from home" where I spent many wonderful summers when I was growing up. I have many fond memories of my time at the Cape Cod Sea Camps. After many summers with them, I came to understand that "I Can and I Will" and nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it with God's help.
My "Winter home" for several of my formidable years and where I still have many fond memories of is Eaglebrook, located in Deerfield, Mass. I can still remember the majestic beauty of the fall leaves and the fun we had sneaking down to the "Candy store" - among other things!
