My current position is Web Infrastructure Manager at Top Floor Technologies in New Berlin, Wisconsin. I am managing website hosting and contract systems administration, back-end programming, and application development. Top Floor focuses on B2B websites (with some B2C), SEO and SEM contracts, and electronic marketing. Contact me there for more information. I don’t do sales, project management, or customer service (yes, I like this job!) but I do support nearly a dozen talented people who provide those customer-centric services, and I would be thrilled to introduce you to them.
I also support projects and services at Quintessential Mischief LLC, my wife’s company. Talk to her about web strategy, search optimization, usability, accessability, and social media. I highly recommend her on objective (as well as subjective) terms. She fights for the user.
Under extremely rare circumstances, I may be available for consultation about your project. My résumé is available online and you can email me.
