After receiving a computer while in high school, I taught myself how to program and have been actively engaged in programming for about eighteen years. I thoroughly enjoy this kind of work, and continue to learn something new every day; it's an exciting and challenging field. I currently own 3 computers and I work with them everyday. I have very good knowledge of Windows in every version as well as computer networking and graphic design. I currently maintain and operate several websites on the internet which are listed in detail later in this resume.

I would like to further my career in this area and learn more business-related subjects. Currently, I am working in 3D graphic design and video production. I like writing games and creating something new for everyone to enjoy. I have many new and original ideas and have many of my own programs for doing small tasks of which I have released into the Shareware community. I also have developed several web sites, and have dealt extensively with computer aided 3D raytracing.

I have a special interest, and I think talent, in both art and mechanical drawing, and have had very sound training and experience in both fields, as well as computer-aided design. CAD is an area in which I feel I have significant latent capacity that I would like to develop.

I was recently employed with Funco as a Manager of the Oceanside store #70 in Oceanside, Lake Grove and Stony Brook stores in New York. I was with the company for about 6 years, and have a thorough understanding of retail store operations and requirements of managerial positions. I've got a special understanding of video games, and the various aspects of video production and purchasing. As well as hobby related merchandise. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to present my qualifications to you in person or to your representative.

Sincerely,

James R. Davis
