                        I have a bachelors degree in History/Political Science from Eureka College and an MBA from Kent State University.  For the past seven years, I've worked as a financial analyst and Director of Finance.  I have a history and passion for the improvement of back office operations (mostly via technology) and the use of Microsoft Excel to better understand the numbers behind a business.  I've assisted businesses in a number of cost saving analysis involving dozens of degrees of variability.  I've also been involved in extended budgets as part of a business planning process.  In addition to this, I am an active investor with my own dashboards to monitor the financial health of organizations.  I share this data as a contributor of Seeking Alpha.

                        LinkedIn is the best way to introduce yourself.  From there, I am comfortable with a number of communication methods including video chat (Skype, Google Hangout), email, and telephone.  Payment terms are negotiable depending on the project.  I am located in the Central timezone and with a full time job, I tend to work on projects during the evenings and weekends.
