Marc Jaffe’s Summary
I am a High technology professional with expertise in consumer electronics, personal computing, networks, and small business computing. Experience in the management of IT functions and web site support for large corporations. High-energy individual with strong people skills.
I have worn many shoes in my career thus far, and I love it. When my day can go from computer technician to troubleshooter to inventor and be creative, then I would say that was a good day.
In the late eighties I opened my own commercial Photo lab/Photography business and built 3 labs from Scratch; construction to electrical to plumbing. If I needed something that did not exist, I invented it. If I needed to use a new piece of technology, I learned it.
Like everything else in my past, I am in a constant learning mode. I am always seeking new challenges and looking to add to my repertoire of knowledge.
