ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I have great patience and communicate well with “difficult” people in a management environment. I am an excellent communicator. I love writing technical articles, solving difficult undocumented server problems, and training coworkers and customers in UNIX functionality. I work well with teams and cope well as either a leader or team player. My patience and persistence for solving almost any technical problem is vast; I don’t give up where others do. The main thing I love to do is learn new skills as well as develop innovative ways of doing things on UNIX systems.
