I provide unique know-how in social networking and have led its mass-mobilizing power with great efficiency and entrepreneurship . My global work experience goes across four continents in North & Central America, Western Europe and the Asia Pacific Region.

From living and working in over a dozen countries (and even on a cruise ship!), I provide rapid transitioning from ideas and concepts to lead through creative diligence their tangible successes. In me you will find someone that brings about change through teamwork and who can lead you in the new horizontal social global economy.  

As lead content provider I created NautiCast, the first-ever Higher Education podcast series based on a cruise ship that transverses the globe through 16-weeks and visited Greece, Portugal, Panama, Ecuador, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, The People's Republic of China and Hong Kong.

The content topics ranged from Sustainable Development, Social Research, Biological Research, Climate Research, Race Relations, Multicultural Development, Faith, etc.

NautiCast was released globally through the Apple iTunes Store for anyone to access and syndicate. The developed educational content not only created an array of expansion material for Academic Departments of the College of Education and Human Services (COEHS) of Western Illinois University, it was a global endeavor in support of the curriculum of courses as well as supplemental sources for blended learning anywhere on the planet.

My job was to interconnect Faculty, Staff and Students in the pilot rollout of the iTunes U podcasting service to a 12,000 strong campus.

I developed and provided training for faculty and staff and acted as platform evangelist during the the background research stage and created a strategic plan to consolidate our portfolio of Content Management Systems (Blackboard, WebCT Vista, Moodle and now iTunes U) while keeping in center stage the human component and richness to learning and knowledge co-creation and its multy-modality approach through traditional delivery (face-to-face), hybrid delivery (face+electronic), site delivery (distance learning) and electronic delivery (purely electronic).

My volunteer job was to gather participants of the program to advance the creation of a multicultural community in Facebok prior to the beginning of the brand new study abroad program that had a zero installed base and zero means of effective prospective participant communication.

With the success of 85% collection of participants (700+ strong!), outcomes were clear: early networking, the creation of student groups, sourcing for scholarships, group planning of independent travel, creation of onboard life programs, simulations and seminars among others. Towards the first anniversary, I created and managed a sister network in NING, became a founding member of the Alumni Council and its board of members, The Bridge.

While socially minded, I too have worked as an R&D Nuclear Systems Engineer for Siemens Healthcare in its Molecular Imaging Group in the USA, and as a Materials Engineer in the Global Med Headquarters in Germany. I understand how big companies work and can manage to have little supervision, independent thought, deliver and sustain multiple projects of complex nature while still getting ideas across the table even through its crevices. I have proven to bring change here as well.
