ABOUT TED PALSSON
A U.S. Air Force Veteran switching into the IT field in 1986 with experience in PC Hardware, Software, Networking, Customized Database Development using Microsoft Office, Data Analysis, Data Conversion, Remote Support and IT Supervision & Management. Automate your workflow for greater productivity and cost reduction.
With a background in U.S. Air Force Police Investigations, I moved into the IT field in 1986 starting out as a computer operator performing backups and printing reports, monthly, quarterly and annual statements for a Trust department. I quickly taught myself 4 programming languages and was promoted to a Trust Programmer. I was eventually hired away by a competing bank to run their Trust Account system which evolved into PC Support, network administrator and eventually an IT regional manager with support responsibilities and staff in Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington. I spent several years leading a Microsoft Access Developers group in the Seattle area and have Access database applications in use in Arizona, Washington, Oregon, California, and Kampala, Uganda.

Experience in the IT field since 1986.
I've been volunteering for many years now for community events since 1985 working at such local events as the Seafair Milk Carton Derby, the Seafair Unlimited Hydroplane Races, the Taste of Edmonds and Tastin 'N Racin'.
For global community service I created a Paperless Patient Tracking System using the Microsoft Acccess database platform to replace the paper medical records at the Naguru Teen Health Center in Kampala, Uganda. The clinic services over 12,000 teens each year and the database application has made tracking the patient demographics and type of care given much easier.
