IT Director for Cornerstone Church
Auburn, Alabama Area
With over fifteen years of real world business experience, which brought me to my call into ministry, I am pursuing opportunities in ministry or academic fields where my assistance will aid the ministry work being provided. While completing my graduate and postgraduate academic work, I look forward to speaking with those ministries seeking someone who is already well rounded in experience and education.
I can offer a ministry or academic field a well-rounded set of skills from research to writing, to theology, with a strong background in computer information technology. I have been a Christian for over 10 years and continually strive to mature in my faith and develop the skills needed for full time work in ministry.
Academic: specializing in research and planning, with an interest in exegetical teaching. My focus is theology and apologetics but I enjoy all the details of a faith that our postmodern culture sees as ambiguity.
IT Related: experience with all office applications and presentation software. Proficient in coding html, css, and php with strong social networking skills.
Photography / Image Editor: 15 years experience in photography and editing including CS4 and most adobe production programs
