      		 I live in the peninsula and have a bachelor's degree in Women's Studies from 
	  the University of California in Santa Cruz.  I have extensive background in the 
	  development and early testing of Serial ATA, and have been repairing, 
	  troubleshooting, and building computers for more than 15 years.  I was the head 
	  WinNT IT/system administrator for a medium sized company in Santa Cruz for over 
	  two years.   I took care of backing up, arranging, and making documentation for 
	  their network, as well as building computers, installing OS, anti-virus software, 
	  and building a Linux based Firewall.  
         	 I just finished working five large audio contract jobs with Vidiator 
	  Technologies and ESPN recording professional voice actors and actresses in the 
	  Bay Area to use for Vidiators new Cell Phone Message Greetings.  I am a computer 
	  audio specialist and have been recording, mixing, editing, and doing post-
	  production for professional musicians, voice actors, corporations, and my own 
	  personal enjoyment for over seven years.  I am also a professional sound recording 
	  artist and electronic musician with an emphasis on computer music: sequencing, 
	  recording, and mastering.  I have worked on recording all of the audio for three 
	  short films two of which I composed the soundtracks for.
      	         I am a hard worker: detail oriented and a great multi-tasker.  Able to take 
	  risks while requiring little supervision, I never fail to get the job done.  Clear 
	  communication is one of my strong points, as well as a natural ability to make 
	  friends and contribute to a positive and fun work environment.  I have great 
	  references and a solid understanding of what needs to be done to keep your 
	  business running smoothly and accelerating to its maximum potential!
   


Thank you very much,
Ben Rogers
