Paul Papanek Stork

I started playing with computers over 35 years ago in high school. I started my full-time professional career on computers in the mid 1980s as a PC/Network Systems Analyst and database (Clipper) programmer. In the early days it was all Novell and IBM Lan Server, but in the mid 90's I started working on NT, got my certification as an MCSE and MCT and haven't looked back since.

I've worked for religious non-profits, local government, a national bank, a university, and most recently a small consulting/training firm. With a broad background and a knack for picking up new technologies fast I've always specialized in Microsoft products that defied compartmentalization and leveraged multiple technologies.

I currently specialize in 4 things; CRM, Sharepoint, SMS, and .NET Compact Framework Development. My role as a consultant normally revolves around being a solution architect or a developer. I design a solution using primarily Microsoft products to solve a client's business problems. At that point I work with their own internal staff to get trained and do the implementation.

In addition to teaching and consulting I have been an active member of various personal computer user groups for many years. I recently completed a term on the board of directors for the Greater Cleveland PC User's Group and continue to co-chair the Windows NT/2000 Special Interest Group for the group. I have also  been asked to help out the Computers Assisting People organization, a non-profit group that seeks to recycle used computer equipment to charitable causes.
