As an independent consultant since 1985, I have amassed a wealth of diverse experience, providing services across three broad categories: Technical, Organizational, and  Educational. From 1985 through 1991, I provided these services to Canadian government departments, as well as to a variety of non-governmental organizations (NGO's) working in Canada and abroad (Southern Africa, South West Asia, and the Middle East). From  1991 through 1994, I lived in South Africa, and continued to provide similar services to  clients in government, trade unions, and NGO's. From 1994 to the present, I have once again been based in Canada, however, the focus has shifted to developing enterprise solutions (SAP and document management).  With this experience, and with an impressive history of client satisfaction, my goal is to work on results' oriented projects that simultaneously offer challenges in my three areas of interest.
