John Croson’s Summary

IT Manager for a medium sized medical billing company. Wearing many hats, to include SysAdmin, NetAdmin, DBA and sometimes developer, I_love_my_job.

Skills are many, not necessarily limited to IT, and no, I'm not being boastful. Actually, you'll find that I'm likely to play my skills down, only to find that I'm pretty good at what I've been asked to accomplish.

I have a 'nose to the grind-stone' attitude towards work, with a can-do attitude (BOY I'm full of cliche`s)

Goals:
- Complete B.S. in MIS
- Obtain MS Certifications

John Croson’s Specialties:

- A particular knack for providing creative solutions to every day issues. Most notably, the use of Open Source products.
- Retail and consulting experience has developed excellent inter-personal skills
- Non-profit view of project management has fostered a 'frugal' attitude toward solution choice and implementation
