Education:
I graduated from High school in 1973 at Andrews, Texas. We were one of the first high schools in Texas to get
a computer in 1970. I was lucky enough to have an extraordinary relationship with the computer instructor and logged
over 10,000 hours of computer use during 1970 thru 1975. I attended Odessa Junior College two years. I learned 4
computer languages before graduation (FORTRAN IV, RPG, COBOL, and Assembler language).

Goals:
I am looking for a Contract work or a Full Time Job with a Consulting Company because I live 2 hours NE of Dallas
taking care of aging parents. I dont mind travel. I did it for 13 years with Siebel and Oracle. Eager to learn new
technology! Dont mind taking on ANY role on a project and mentor younger consultants if needed to make it successful.

Experience:
Dec 2011-Current RedHot Consulting, Inc.

Sulphur Springs, TX

My entire Siebel/Oracle career integration was my favorite thing to work on. I was a Sr. Principal Consultant but at
Siebel/Oracle the title didnt mean anything. The Job Description said to do what you have to do to make the client
successful and happy, on time, on budget! As such I played many different roles.
I have worked at several clients since an Oracle Layoff in late 2011. On Premise Siebel CRM was not selling very well in
late 2011. The Clients are listed below. Its impossible to put everything I did everywhere in less than a book
My recent clients include:

Exelon Energy in Houston

Constellation Energy in Baltimore
LexisNexis in Indiana
American Airlines in Ft. Worth
Moahco Holdings, LLC in Garland
TIAA-CREF in Charlotte
