Since starting freelancing full time, I have not been keeping up well on my portfolio and resume, but I feel this project is definitely worth posting. Karen's Cookies is an online cookie decorating resource the my wife and I created. It's been a lot of work, and will continue to be as we add tutorials, photos, products, etc.. It's been well worth it and something we're very pleased with.

Step Up Sites serves as the site for my freelance web design and development business I have been successfully running since August 2005. While this portfolio you're viewing focuses on the development work I've contributed to corporate training sites, you can jump on over to my personal portfolio to view the sites I have created for smaller businesses. Many of those were designed and developed by myself from the ground up.

The Pampered Chef Online Training Center provides consultants with engaging courses and references to help them develop and promote their personal businesses. The site focuses on interactive product training, soft skills, and provides incentive to complete courses with a sweepstakes program.

This Comcast site provides training, sales tools, and more. It was developed for sales professionals who sell Comcast products and services. Here they find sales training, downloadable job aids, and other information about Comcast products and services to stay caught up here so they can get ahead while at work.

I have put together several SCORM-compliant courses for Best Buy's internal training program. The skills learned in these courses range from soft skills, to equipment training, to new product specs and information.

When I started working with Via Training in 2000 I was one of about 14 employees, serving a single client. There are now over 150 people working together to serve such clients as HP, Intel, Motorola, Canon, Microsoft, and others. We have expanded to serving multi-national markets and have even opened an office in Europe. This is Via's Web site which highlights some of it's services and accomplishments, as well as providing general company information.

I have been actively involved in the development of HP InfoLab since just a few weeks after it's launch in 2000. Having received multiple awards for its interactive learning courses, and incentives programs, the site has become one of the most widely known and used training sites for technology retail sales reps. Special attention is given to each course to assure that the user is learning not only about new product specs, but also effective selling techniques. I cannot even count the number of courses, email blasts, and other site updates I have been involved with through the years on this site.

As a "sister-site" of HP InfoLab, SuppliesInfo focuses on wholesalers, independent resellers, contract stationers, and major retailers of the after market sale of printing supplies such as paper, ink cartridges, toner, and storage media. The site has grown from offering only self-directed courses to including classroom training as part of it's program.

I have been involved in the Intel Retail Edge Program since I built the initial site when the program started in 2002. This is also a popular site among retail sales reps with one of the best-known incentives programs. Users earn points as they read articles, take interactive courses, and attend live events. They can then spend those points on a yearly PC bundle that includes the latest processor and motherboard from Intel.

With the success of the Retail Edge Program, Intel recognized a need to bring such training to the Eastern market. Though fairly new, the Intel Retail Advantage Program has been warmly accepted by Traditional Chinese and Taiwanese audiences.

Given it's expansive list of products, we have created dozens of courses for quite a variety of products for Microsoft. From mice and keyboard to tax software, from tablet PCs to video games, the Microsoft Retail Online Training site serves to ramp up sales reps on new or updated software and hardware technology.

This is another site I was able to help create from the ground up. It is interesting to see a site start out as a little prototype on your local computer, to a worldwide program, localized into several languages. This site focuses on providing training and news for Windows Mobile devices, including PDAs and mobile phones.
