Nova University
Masters
Computer Science
While working as a technician at Computer Products Inc. I attended Nova University (now Nova Southeastern University) at night to pursue my Masters degree. Following graduation I was promoted to engineer.
Coursework included hardware, software, and database design, stressing structured programming techniques.
GPA 4.0
09/1970

Wesleyan University
Bachelors
Mathematics and Theater
While attending Wesleyan I was extremely active in the Theater department but also satisfied the requirements for a Math major. Anxious to enter the 'real world' I chose to graduate after three years.
Wesleyan of that era used a pass-fail system for most courses. My GPA for the few courses that issued grades was approximately 87%.

Description:
With specific instructions from the writer, and original photographs from his wife, I generated the cover for this book which will soon be available via Amazon.
I used Microsoft Publisher to generate the appropriate PDF file. I used an online barcode generator for the ISBN barcode, and generated the back cover text myself.

Description:
This is my own resume. It's in my favorite resume format, from a template by Microsoft. The vertical orientation makes for a striking appearance.
I prepare resumes and cover letters for clients. Naturally, all information is confidential so my own is the only sample I can provide. I try to limit all resumes to one page but I was unable to do that for mine.
