EMPLOYMENT TIMELINE
I took early retirement from Verizon Communications, effective January 1st, 2007.
I currently trade stock for a living, having decided that, after 16 years with the Fortune 500 as customers, 12 years in New York (where I had a real office), 4 years on Wall Street (where I only ever had a cubicle, but it was on the corner of Wall and Water), and 4 years in Washington, D.C. (where I could see Dubya's office from mine), maybe I have learned enough to make a bit of money on the Stock Exchange without it being insider trading.
Apart from that, I am working on the convergence of "always connected" cellular data protocols and Enterprise networking, and will be exploring alternative energy projects in Asia Pacific in 2008.
I consider myself privileged in having had long term in-depth exposure to the workings of the American financial industry, as well as those of the United States Federal Government. Oh, and did I mention I helped build two telephone companies from scratch? Verizon Long Distance, in Arlington, VA, and ProXL, in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Consequential to the merger between Bell Atlantic and GTE, Verizon is consolidating product offerings in its former multiple footprints, and relaunching the product through 2003, to include, additional to fiber based 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet.
New York, December 18, 2000 -- Using technology provided by Enron Broadband Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enron Corp. (NYSE:ENE) and Motorola, Verizon (NYSE: VZ), formed by the merger of Bell Atlantic and GTE, today successfully turned up Video on Demand service over residential DSL at a customer residence in Northern Manhattan. Blockbuster Inc. (NYSE:BBI), a publicly traded subsidiary of Viacom Inc. (NYSE:VIA, VIA.B), provides streaming on-demand consumer video with fully interactive capabilities (fast forward, rewind, pause, restart etc. during this technical trial. The Manhattan installation is the first of its kind that utilizes installed consumer ADSL with existing Verizon customers.
