"Technology has been my career and I have made many turns in the IT arena. From systems development to project management to IT security, etc. I love the challenge of learning new technology. I love the passion and intelligence of IT personnel. I don't like senior management not taking IT and especially IT security seriously but, this is mitigated through education and awareness training."

"Knight Ridder Digital / McClatchy Interactive GREAT company!"

What do you like about working at Knight Ridder?

"I came in as a newbie, in less than six weeks, I was given total reign of systems, networking, remote locations, etc. They recognized my talents immediately and gave me any and all resources to bring them up to speed. Including Y2K issues, proofing, workflow, on and on. They stepped back, I reported to a tree, as they experienced the results of 20+ plus year leap in technology implementation. They were great folks, Tony and Par - his son were personally involved, communicated with me directly at times and made me feel like a million bucks! My motivation was simple, they recognized my talents and fed my need to be challenged"
