1998
In 1997, Linotype-Hell was acquired by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.
I continued as a trainer with the new company until 1999, when I accepted
a position as Senior Demonstrator in their US headquarters.
For the next four years I worked in a technical sales support role, providing
custom product demonstrations to executive-level buyers.
In late 2002 I left Heidelberg USA to join a friend at a mortgage brokerage.
It was a small company, which provided the opportunity to learn many
parts of the business, from marketing and sales to recordkeeping and
compliance.
100% of my income was from commission during this time.

2005
In early 2009 I was invited to take over the operations of an
established commercial printing company in New Orleans, Louisiana.
For almost two years, I managed the day-to-day activities of the
production, front office, and sales staff, and moved the company
forward on a path towards long-term competitive growth.
Though short-lived, the experience was invaluable.

Continuing education has always been a crucial part of my work ethic.
From technical training such as networking or UNIX system
administration, to “soft skills” training such as The Dale Carnegie Course
or referral selling: I have been taught by industry leaders and have
applied the new knowledge in the workplace.
