Curriculum Vitae Information

Hello,
This résumé should be printable from your web browser. It has been tested in several web browsers:

Also in the following non-CSS capable browsers:

I suggest using either a Webkit or Gecko based browser for printing. (Personally, I've found Midori the best for this purpose, although Opera also looks promising.)

This column should not appear when you print this page if your web browser supports CSS.

For Recruiters

If you wish to approach me, please provide some specific information regarding the position you have in mind. I will not return phone calls or electronic mail without this information.

I am primarily interested in opportunities in the greater Boston area, although extremely good opportunities elsewhere might be considered, especially in the New Jersey area.

I'd be interested in hearing about opportunities in either Spain or Gibraltar, although there would be plenty of contingencies for either.
