"Everyone is given a
special talent"
Everyone is given a
special talent and mine has been computers. I first was introduced to
computers in my electronics class in 1980. We were one of the first
schools in the Virginia school system to have a computer for the
students to study. I learned what made them tick inside and some pretty
basic computer language.
About 1 year later I
purchased my fist computer, a Commodore 64. This was a very basic system
and it came with a couple of games. What really interested me was that I
could write computer code and store it on a cassette tape. The cassette
tape would later be replaced by the hard drive. The first time I was
able to run my program from the tape the computer bug bit me and I had
to know more!
In 1983 I went to work
for a company that manufactured computer room power supplies and
monitors. Because of my tech school background I was quickly moved from
manufacturing to be an assistant to the engineers. They had me
prototyping circuits, troubleshooting, and drafting. Looking back, I
believe the engineers in my group hated the drafting part because of the
intricate lay out of the circuits. I got to be pretty good at it and I
know that several of the schematic designs I worked on were still in use
in the late 90's.
In 1991 after moving to
California I went to work as a sales representative for a hard drive
manufacturer. Because of complaints by my customers of poor technical
support I would listen into some of the tech support calls of my
customers to make sure they were handled properly. I would eat my lunch
or go through papers while they were talking sometimes over an hour. I
didn't realize but I was learning many of the skills and tricks of the
technicians and soon I could handle many of these calls myself.
In 1995 I went to work
as a sales representative for a tool manufacturing company. In 1996 this
company had a third party design a web site for them. It was terribly
basic and I asked if I could take a crack at it. Later I presented my
web site to company and the rest was history. This company was very
supportive of me and my computer skills. My web skills quickly spread to
graphic design, marketing and catalog design. I found that my time on
the computer passed very quickly and I enjoyed every minute.
Well if you have made
it this far, I congratulate you and thank you for hearing my story. What
I wanted to convey is that I have a history of working with the computer
and graphic design. I have found that working with computers is a
passion for me. I have the skills and knowledge to assist with your
graphic and computer needs. I also have the background for marketing
your product or service in a way that helps you to get the message of
your company to your customer. I can translate computer to English to
explain even the most complex computer problem in basic terms. I know
you will find Dogpaw Graphics to be the answer to all of your technical
requirements.
