Here's a snippet from the next to last entry on my resume. I'm wanting to go independent because my wife's job is in a small midwestern town, and I'm sick of having to maintain a second residence hundreds of miles away where the work is. My rate will reflect that small midwestern town's cost of living. Full resume and references available upon request; experience with globally recognized companies.

TIA
