After four years at Clemson University where I have been able to take on vastly different reasonability within different project I can extract the common thread that I added to each project. The attribute is that I solve problems. I not only solve large enterprise wide problems but I am able to have one eye on the timely and efficient completion of the project, while I am also able to build the foundation that will allow the project to strive in the future. My background and education has provided me with transferable skills that allow me to tackle perplexing and sophisticated business issues within all aspects of a company.

I have been using the statistics excel program I developed with my local high school football team. After a couple of years only recoding the stats and providing them to the coaching staff and media members I decided to move the stats online.

We have been able to bring our fans the normal and advance stats that larger programs provide.

This project came out of necessity. My dad has been over the statistics team for our local high school’s football team for a few years.
