My traditional career path was Information Technology & Business Operations Professional.  Going the entrepreneurial route I'm open to opportunities within IT or on a new paradigm. Grafting radio and media opportunities in with my IT and Business Consulting work (its pays the bills and buys groceries) is the plan.
