I began as a volunteer in February 2001 by creating the CTDG web site which has grown to over 100 pages. When funding was available, I developed curriculums and served as an instructor to full fill grant requirements. Over the years I have maintained a history of the programs on the web site, served as a technical coach / supervisor for volunteers, and assisted in fundraising efforts as well as grant submissions. As of June 2006, I serve as a volunteer and am occasionally contracted to provide network services. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Information Systems and Business Management from Northwood University.
