CV (Curriculum Vitae)
Since a CV is essentially a ‘life story’, it seemed appropriate to include a story about this website.
Education
Spoiler Alert: A large portion of my ‘classic’ education (Mechanical Engineering) isn’t much of a contributor to what I do.
Classic Résumé
The Classic Résumé is at the bottom of this page. Since it’s a ‘classic résumé’, it’s got some ‘classic’ special effects.
The Story of this Website
▪ Some web related Skill Sets ▪
If a picture is worth a thousand words, how about a picture with words? That’s got to be worth even more, right?

The above Interactive Image Map will not have interactive capability on mobile devices.
…if you like what you see, contact me. Unless you’re viewing this on a mobile device or tablet. The software (Image Map Pro) that provides the above Image Map doesn’t do a very good job on mobile devices. I’m working on some custom script and CSS code to correct it.
Classic Education
▪ Classic Education isn't a big contributor ▪
Why is ‘classic’ education not much of a contributor?
Because it’s Mechanical Engineering, not Computer Science or Engineering. But then again, there was a bunch of math and calculus. So maybe there is some contribution after all. Plus there’s the whole college experience too.

Here’s the long promised Downloadable PDF Version.
And as long as we’re on classics, there’s still an active version of my Portfolio from almost a quarter of a century ago (wait, nope, off line as of 2026, but will be back in 2027). It doesn’t display properly in a modern browser as it was created in the Internet Explorer 4 era.
