Warren Wyrostek’s Interests:

Healthcare with a specific interest in Geriatric and Hospice Care, Education and Training, Technical Training, Integrated Networking, Trade Education. Avocationally,my ultimate career goal based on call is/was to work full-time as a Hospital Chaplain with a special focus on the terminally ill, hospice care and geriatrics. This has not changed over the years. Life and history have not enabled me to fulfill that goal yet, so I continue to work in IT. (Primoris crux crucis tunc resurrection!) Vocationally, I am currently interested in positions as Director of Training, Technical Training or Education, but will consider opportunities as a Technical Trainer, Training Manager (having been a Novell Gold Training Partner for several years), Course Developer, Content Developer, Technical Writer/Editor and Freelance Writer.
