Meet the Staff
I am the Senior IT OI Analyst for the City of Newport News and the President of a small computer consulting company, Equippers. Terri has her own business as a hairdresser working out of the home. I'm pretty proud of her. Not only does she run a business with a clientele' of doctors, public officals, ministers and other highly visible persons, but she still makes time to be an outstanding wife and mother !
Previous to switching to a career centered more directly in Computer Science, I worked for twelve years in Engineering Design, at Newport News Shipbuilding working on submarine hydraulic systems design, and then contracting at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton Virginia, where I designed special flight test hardware and wind tunnel models using 3D solid modeling systems. In my current position I have been responsible for enterprise document imaging projects, comprehensive employees training programs, and Web application and content development as well as special projects for executive staff. For more details see my resume.
We have been teaching and working with youth for since 1990. We have been actively involved in counseling teens, singles and married couples about dating and marriage in singles groups, music groups, youth departments, Scouting and camping organizations and cell groups and other ministries. I have spent many years in various leadership roles, studying the pros and cons of various management and leadership styles and have learned as much about what not to do, as about what should be done in leadership, relationships, business and the church. No, we aren't perfect and don't have all the answers to all your questions, but we have learned much through study, research and personal experience that has helped to make our marriage loving, happy and successfull. And since I am a great believer in learning as much as possible from other's successes and failures, I am happy to share anything I have learned, in hope of helping others.
