Gene Wicker Jr’s Summary
To keep everyone happy and to solve every problem that comes my way. The latter generally takes care of the former.
Gene Wicker Jr’s Specialties:
To use an overworked analogy "I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none". There's little in the computer industry I haven't done, but I'm always willing to try something else. Change drives this industry and I'm ready to roll with it.
Gene Wicker Jr’s Experience
-
Manager of Media Services
Glen Raven, Inc.
(Privately Held; 1001-5000 employees; Textiles industry)
August 1999 — Present (9 years 3 months)
Started as both PC/Mac support and web developer/master. Mostly have shed the PC support, but still handle a small farm of Macs used primarily for design. Web development and desktop publishing are my main duties (that's plenty), but I'll take anything tossed my way.
Officially I don't have a title and honestly I don't want one. I'll do whatever they need me to do to get the job done. -
