MicroAge
Van Nuys, Califomia April 1987 to October 1999
My last position with MicroAge was as Account Manager for
Education Sales. 1 developed and implemented a systematic program for the sale of computer relatedproducts and
services designed to meet the IT requirements of education clients in the State of California. I supervised a support
team consisting of members for client administration support, technical design services,technical support services,
and procurement services. I worked closely with the management and staff of the local branch office, where I had
my offices, to grow sales in the education market. In this position I developed numerous vendor relationships
specific to education sales including but not limited to working with Microsoft, Compaq, IBM, Hewlett-Packard,
3Com, Cisco, Cabletron,Apple,Adobe, Macromedia, Claris,Xerox, Epson and others.
Prior to being selected for this position 1 had been a top producing commercial account manager with a 14 year
successful sales record In addition to my sales and client management responsibilities I served a term as head of
the Products Selection Committee, helped establish and maintain a 10,000 plus record client management data
base, oversaw the production of high quality sales aids such as print ads, brochures, direct mail campaigns as well
as text and graphic presentation materials. In doing so, I became skilled in the use of numerous software programs
for database management, wordprocessing,graphics presentation, desktop publishing, as well as utilization of the
Internet for sales and marketing,product research, and communications.
When first hired by MicroAge 1 was part of a transition team from the Moore Business Center. The new parent
company, CASS Marketing Services, Inc. had purchased the Moore Business Center and was to operate, as a
franchisee, a retail computer store known as the MicroAge Computer Store. Having had extenstve experience in the
operations of a retail computer store I worked closely with the new owners as they developed the skills and facilities
to augment their existing IBMMid--Range business with that of personal computers, specifically IBM PC's. 1
attended numerous IBM training courses to fulfill the requirements for us to operate as an Authorized IBM
Advanced Products Dealer. I also assisted in the design of a new location for our retail operations and worked two
years in a salary only position to get the business fu11y operational. At this same time I also attended numerous
authorization training sessions required by Hewlett Packard,Apple, Compaq,Novell,Microsoft and others. One of
the strong selling programs 1 helped develop was the advantage this company presented to businesses by combining
product sales with maintenance and consulting supportfor a mixed environment of PC's and IBM Mid-Range
computer systems such as the AS1400 and RS/6000. This strategy helped in attracting clients such as Kinko's, Walt
Disney,Amgen, Twentieth Century Insurance, Country Wide Mortgage, Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital,
as well as the Beverly Hills Unified School District, Oak Park Unified School District, UCLA, USC, USCB, Cal
Lutheran and many others.
Having lived in Los Angeles for 29 years my wife and 1 were looking for a location that we would eventually like to
move to as an alternative. As a result of this research we found an opportunity to buy a home in San Luis Obispo.
At the same time my friend and owner of MICS had the need for a sales and marketing person so we agreed on a
position and I left MicroAge saying "so long"to lots of good friends and collogues.
