Experience
FROM 1966] – TO PRESENT
Conservation Planning for Sustainable Development / USDA – ASA – Corp of Engineers
Beginning with the US Army Signal Corps as an aerial photographer and progressing to the NE Regional
Watershed Research Lab at University Park, Pa; then continuing to the Butler Field office of the US Dept. of
Agricultures Soil Conservation Service to implement the Rural Abandoned Mine Program – RAMP through Act of
Congress – ultimately seeing The Superfund Act applied to all of the USA. I also was happy to participate as a
Nature Interpreter in Generation Green at South Lake Tahoe California subsequent to the establishment of the
Civilian Conservation Corps – CCC which established a permanent basis for youth oriented conservation
practices and programs within all of the States and vast territories.
FROM 1972 – TO 1992
Cooperative Mgmt. / The Ohio Valley Cooperative Association
Participated in the formation and management of the first organic food cooperative east of the Mississippi River
– which promotes the cooperative association for organic farming and holistic health supplement providers (aka
– medicinal herbs and nutritional vitamins) based on concepts of environmental quality and food products
purity. This truly international effort Interfaced with the traditional produce market to insure economic vitality,
produce quality and general good will in local and regional food markets.
FROM 1970 – TO 2008
Graphic Communications // Writer Producer at Drop of Light Communications
Utilizing this cooperative concept within the Access Television Cable Provision of Local Telecommunications
Development also empowered me to write and produce over 100 hour length Cablecast programs of both spiritually
uplifting and historically related projects. This helped to promoted the purpose of salvation and intercultural relations
in uncommon faith based fellowships and organizations, as the saying goes ---- think globally; act locally – an adage

amenable to good will and positive action. Providing developmental skills related to the idea that we need to perfect
the lens through which ideas become reality. It also provides the heart with insight and compassion to empathize with
others. Wrote and Published – "Historic Insight into the Millennia" – available on CreateSpace. DVD recordings of cable
cast programs also published.
From 2006 - present
Quantum Information Systems /// Enterprise Infosystems – Semantic Web Development
According to the conceptuality of AWE and Wonder I utilized a time of personal sorrow for my family
providing home health care for my father in his home and was able to learn how to program
computers and surf the world wide web – learning in great measure what the term information
superhighway can mean. I worked on the original software developments of both Microsoft Net
Platform for its Windows software and the Google browser; also Social Networking Applications and
tool sets. Gained expertise in JavaScript, C++ and C# programing modalities. Joined the Microsoft
Partnership Program and worked with a diverse and powerful array of information architectures and
development strategies – including Sql Server and Azure; Developer Studio and SharePoint Server;
which provided an impetus for Live and Office 365 which I am proficient in – these applications and
their excellent quality of Information Architecture helped to provide me with an introduction to
what has come to be known as Quantum Information Processing QIP and the internet of things IoT.
Education
MAY 1977
BA – Applied General Systems Theory / Univ. Of Pittsburgh
I was able to create a self-designed major within the school of General Studies designed to bring harmony to diverse
interdisciplinary fields like Environmental Health and Environmental Biology (Ecology). I purposed to use this unity to
comply with the legal structure of the National Environmental Policy Act - NEPA. Harmony was expedient in putting the
fields of Creative Writing and Graphic Design to good use as a "metaphysical" exercise of philosophic and cultural
understanding. In like measure spiritual truth was equally well served as the "children of Israel" continued to fulfill a
"divine Plan" in discrete developments within the "Holy Land" - justifying in this way a unifying effort.
AUGUST 1970
Still and Aerial Photography / US Army Signal Center and School – Ft. Mammoth N.J.
Surprised myself as a member of the US Army Signal Corps – Army Security Agency; with the attainment of Specialist and
an offer to attend West Point. Was awarded Best Photo Award and went on to become a peace maker during the later
years of the Vietnam conflict when many soldiers from every echelon of military service – joined their voices to protest
our ongoing involvement and helped to bring that war to its ultimate conclusion and all involved somehow "saved face".

JUNE 2008
Small Business systems Administration / Microsoft University – Partnership program
My professional development was well served as the highly complex developments within software engineering and
computer technology began to accelerate – as a partner with Microsoft in the deployment of this new Net platform
throughout their software empire – I chose small business systems as the focus of my educational efforts resulting in a
thorough understanding of how complex technologies can help to simplify real world enterprises.
September 1978
Electronic Theory with Laboratory / Cleveland Institute of Electronics – Cleveland, Ohio
In conjunction with my job as a lab technician at the NE Regional Watershed Research Lab – my professional
competence greatly increased as I studied both Physical Chemistry and the theory of electronics which our
instruments utilized for their discreet operations. This helped to fine tune my professional development and
provide a bridge of intellectual understanding of truly complex phenomenon in the natural and man made world.
I was able to complete my course of studies and assist with the completion of our statutory mandated research.
MAY 1979
Dynamic mosaic of Successional communities Flowing Through Time / The Pennsylvania State Univ. Graduate
School of Ecology
My course work in Ecology, Physical and Organic Chemistry and Applied General Systems Theory helped me to
accomplish the theoretical background for the real world work that I was doing for the Dept. Of Agriculture in its
Implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act – this conundrum of sorts became invaluable as
Superfund projects began to remediate the damages done through the advent of the industrial age and its global
conflicts.
November 1988
Community Producer / Pittsburgh Community Television PC – TV
PC-TV made social development an important addition to my profile as a committed agent of meaningful
change – providing continuity to my management style....in meeting the challenge set before America –
historically as the Millennium neared. Digital Videography and Studio Production techniques also helped me
to grow as a creative individual.
