Thirty-eight years in one corporation is almost unheard of today. Looking back I do not regret any of the time. I worked in many divisions including Consumers, Automotive and Corporate in Franklin Park, National Parts in Elk Grove Village, Communications Sector in Schaumburg, Cellular in Arlington Heights and Libertyville.
As the International Senior Director of Information Technology, I visited many facilities around the world. I will never forget all the people I have met, the good times I have had, the lives I have touched, the people I have worked with, and great friends I have made all around the world. If I have any regrets , it’s that I will not be able to work with them anymore.
In the years I have been at Motorola I witnessed many changes within the business and within the Information Technology organizations. I have seen the Quasar television, the 2-way radio, cash-cow business in the Communications Division, the CB radio, AM Stereo, the data radio network, the paging explosion, Marty Cooper’s birth of cellular, the cordless, and Iridium just to name a few. Our products, management, direction, and employees have all changed time and time again but the dedication I have seen over the years was second to none.Since leaving Motorola, I have worked as a consultant part time and am enjoying the freedom of semi retirement.
I currently reside in Northern Illinois. I am always willing to assist colleagues where I can
