## BIO
**Microsoft Certified Professional**
I have over 9 years programming experience in Visual Basic. I started out as a QuickBasic programmer and made the natural progression to Windows development early on. Since then, I have worked heavily with Visual Basic, ASP, as well as the SQL Server, Access, and Oracle database systems.
I have extensive experience in all aspects of the project life cycle, from gathering requirements through development, as well as documentation and support. I believe there is more to good project development than heads-down coding; communication and clear goals throughout the entire process are the keys to success.
I am glad to answer any questions you may have, and look forward to working with you.
