Work Experience

April 1998 - Present

Spunge.org
I am the owner, operator and total administrator of spunge.org, my own domain on the Internet.  Spunge.org consists of 7 Linux boxes and 1 MS-WINDOWS machine running a variety of service including web page hosting, Majordomo style Email lists, Virtual domain hosting and Unix shell accounts.  As sole administrator, I respond to all user problems, questions and enhancement requests.
July 1997 - Present
Moody Bible Institute
 I am responsible for preparing meals for 600-800 students per meal. I am responsible to prepare the food, and cook it to the specifications that I am given. I supervise a group of 15 student workers directly, and 40 indirectly.
Fall 1995 - Present
Eldar.org
I am responsible for creating and maintaining the email lists on the NetBSD machines that are there. I respond to user problems, questions, and enhancement requests, as well as follow instructions from the site owner.
May 1999 - July 1999
Moody Bible Institute
Created an intranet web site for the Food Service Department. I was responsible for the layout, design, HTML programming, and CGI programming. The data on the web site needed to be updated easily, so I was also reasonable for creating web forms and CGI scripts to handle the updating of the data. That process transformed the site from a static HTML site, to a dynamic, script driven site. Virtually every page is a script, that pulls data from a data file, and formats it as needed. The intranet site is not viewable by the general public, but I have created a home for it at mbi-fs.spunge.org which is fully functional, minus the actual updating of data.
August 1995 - July 1997
Moody Bible Institute
Assisted the full-time cooks in preparing the food for the student meals as well as taking part in cleaning, pots washing, and assisting with special catered events.
May 1994 - May 1995
Young Spring & Wire
Created a system of Excel spreadsheets that would generate 14 different reports that were needed for a CIOS (Contentious Improvement Operating System) project. This involved collecting current forms that were used, and creating new ones to meet the needs of the new system. Excel programming was used to create the actual reports on a monthly basis.
Fall 1990 - August 1995
North Mount Zion Church
Assembled and maintained the video production system and the audio PA system, was a camera operator, and responded to most questions regarding the video or audio production of the church services.

Set up, and ran the audio PA system for school functions, and 8 school drama productions. I was also made recommendations on equipment purchases.
