employers.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

–While I am open to the initial nature of an assignment, I am decidedly
disposed that it be so oriented as to at least partially incorporate the

ultimately lead to the application of more rarefied facets of financial
management as the major sphere of responsibility.

–I was proud to win the Gregg Typting Award.

SPECIAL REQUESTS & JOB OBJECTIVES:

–Please call me after 5:30 because I am self-employed and my employer
does not know I am looking for another job.

meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage.

–Minor allergies to house cats and Mongolian sheep.

PERSONAL INTERESTS:

–Donating blood. 14 gallons so far.
