If you work from home or are about to work from home this is the course for you.

I enjoy working from home and with my course, you can too.

Summary: Active SAP software consultant working with SAP Business One in the SME space. Developing business intelligence and business processes for my clients. Working for Forgestik in Western Canada.

History

My focus has always been on business and technology.

Started in web design and development while attending school, finished my BBA and began implementing business management software. I was quickly recruited into the SAP ecosystem and began working with SAP Business One.

Using information technology is critical to operational efficiency. Your use of technology means the difference between good and great.

With my eye for design and mind for process, I have been designing business systems be it in ERP form or web site form since the start of my career.

My current focus is SAP Business One implementation with a specialty in Crystal Reports and business intelligence.

But I have not lost my love for design and internet technologies as I still work on web development projects on the side.

Interests

I am an enthusiastic martial artist (Pankration / MMA), reader and artist. Amateur handyman, technology nerd, video game connoisseur and sushi lover.
