Write my biography for my portfolio

Published by: webmaster 2009-01-09

I?m putting together a portfolio (to print and to put on the web). Below is a lot of information about myself. I am looking for somebody to take the information below, ask me questions (clarifications) if need be, and to put together two versions of a biography for me. The first version should be 250-450 words and the second version should be briefer (about 100-200 words). The information below is obscured to remove personal information (in accordance with Google Answers requirements) but when you write the bio, you can just use the placeholders I specified (i.e. Website1.com, etc?). I don?t require that all of this information is used? however; this is what you have to choose from. I?m asking somebody to write this for me in the hope that it will sound great, it will be done professionally (I assume you will know what I should include and what I shouldn?t) and to get some fresh ideas. Overview: * 10 years experience in the business * Windows Software Developer (from C++, Java, to VB, .NET) * Architect and Software Designer (object oriented methodologies, enterprise, n-tier, UML) * Project Manager (small + large teams, specializing in off-site management) * Located on Long Island, New York Personality: * I like to learn new technologies * Very much interested in starting new businesses * Always looking for opportunities * Always looking to improve my personal knowledge (increase my marketability) * I understand the user (okay, okay? we all say that) * Excellent written and communication skills * I work hard, and I work a lot I am owner of: * Website1.com (consulting software development company) * Website2.com (unique web based marketing company geared towards electricians (not really)) * Website3.com (unique web based portal for Avon consultants (not really)) * Website4.com (windows shared web hosting company) * Website5.com (multi-level-marketing, work from home, earn money thing (really) I have the following degrees: * A.A.S.

BTW... I'm not looking for a bulleted list of accomplishments. I'm looking for a friendly group of paragraphs that read: John Smith was educated at Univesity 1. He rocks. etc... I can also use it in future books that I write... so if you think about it like an "About the Author", that may help.

Hello cornchip~ Below, I've written up two bios; a shorter one (a la "About The Author"), and a longer one, suitable as a bio on a website (each following your word count requests). Since I could not view your website, there were many blanks for me; but I think it will be easy for you to fill in the blanks. If you have any questions, just let me know!
