About Brian Drake
I\'ve survived cancer, though I\'m still fighting it. While I\'m not looking for work myself, I\'m out hunting for friends and jobs for others. My needs are diverse, so check in. Patience is appreciated; my disability is focused around communication-Brian (dictated)-Give me a challenge - give me a desired outcome and I will make it happen. My entire career has been translating client business needs into actionable data. From handshakes to hand-offs I help businesses acquire, iterate, and execute. I have excellent communication skills - I train regularly as a Toastmaster. Public speaking, technical training, engaging 1 on 1, or 1 to many, I help people realize their ideas. I am a technical jack of all trades - able to configure, troubleshoot, and even code if necessary.* Setup networks both large and small * System integrations - both client and server * Troubleshoot Software - SAAS, embedded and client * Work with any OS though my strength is Windows. I enjoy travel - 50% is ideal.
