Microsoft UM/OCS Systems Designer and Real Estate Broker - Two in One!
Greater Denver Area
Real estate and telecommunications. Two different jobs, same person. After 15 years in the telecommunications industry, where I helped clients design and develop custom applications to support their customer base, I was given the opportunity to try a new career (read major layoffs in the telecommunications industry) so I decided to try real estate. With the downturn in the market lately, I'm also back working in the telecommunications arena, but focused on Microsoft's Unified Communications product suite. I am also the Broker/Owner of my own real estate firm.
