About Paul Warner

I am a trailblazer - eager to venture off into unexplored territory and penetrate the frontier, leaving a path for others to follow. I do not enjoy routine, static tasks. I have a Midwestern work ethic that runs from sunup until the work is done. I am fiercely loyal. I am a skilled people person - able to connect with almost anyone and find some common ground - my diverse experiences are a real plus in finding these connections to build a trusting relationship. I am an entrepreneur at heart and like to think of a business or product as a surrogate child that must be nurtured, educated, trained, and set free to find its place in the world. I love to travel, although post 9/11, commercial flying is not my favorite way to waste a day. I have reliable transportation that can take me anywhere I need to go. I have a valid US Passport, should it be required. I have successfully planned events, both on-site and at 3rd party locations for groups between 15-200. I have managed as many as 35 personnel, both directly and through subordinate supervisors. I have a deep understanding of the hidden things that make the internet work - DNS, routers, TCP/IP, etc. I’m mechanically skilled in practical engineering, as well as being able to operate about anything with wheels, tracks, or a rudder.
