Hi. I’m Joe and I am now semi-retired after spending the better part of the last forty years working in the performing arts field. (OK, since August 2023 I have been working full-time again) I also spent some time working in commercial construction and in information technology for a manufacturing firm with multiple locations. If you want my career history just look at my LinkedIn profile by clicking the icon in the footer section below this post.
I like solving problems and making operations more efficient. While my focus tends to be on streamlining data management and reporting. I am happy to analyze daily operations and workflows throughout an organization and recommend changes to improve overall efficiency.
