Herbert Finnell is a Information Systems Specialist with technical expertise developed from a military career that began at Vandenberg AFB, CA, in the US Air Force, in 1979. After a subsequent tour of duty at RAF Bentwaters UK, and concluding his career as an Operations Management Chief at Offutt AFB, HQ SAC in 1988, he continued his career in a position with RCA leading to a "CONFIDENTIAL" government job working for the Department of the US Treasury/US Customs Service in Miami FL, in 1989.

His first established job prior to his military career was at a mail order firm in Miami that inspired him to understand the roles of marketing and merchandising in direct marketing business. His strong native skills as an illustrator led him to take a position as a Graphic Artist with a firm owned by Donnelly Advertising.

Tuition assistance towards his pursuit of a degree in Architectural design encouraged him to pursue opportunities being offered by the US Air Force. Of course, he says, ".. the Air Force had other ideas and pushed me down the road of computer technology, no regrets so far, it has been a remarkable career filled with amazing experiences and advancement."

When a position at a power company in Florida was available to him he chose to abandon military and government employment and began a career with responsibilities in mainframe and WAN technology. Eventually, independent consulting positions brought him success as a professional in his field opening doors in 1999 that allowed him to establish his own firm with internet cafe services, in an unrelated field although closely associated with his wife's area of expertise, Coffee Roasting and Specialty coffees and teas.

"I've switched careers into something that makes me proud of my family and the quality of the product I can call our own.." he replied.
