Top 5% LinkedIn Profile in 2012!

Not bad for a guy with mostly real life contacts... Anyhow, I'm not currently equipped to respond to a large volume of email. So please DO contact me through LinkedIn so that I can see you are a real person.

FAQ:

Q. Tell me about Cornerstone Consulting LLC?
A.  I'm a Senior .Net Developer in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul metro area in Minnesota (USA). Most of my career I have worked as a consultant, but increasing requests for independent availability lead me to create Cornerstone Consulting LLC in February 2013.

Q. Are you available for a project in ____? 
A. Sorry, at this time I am NOT available for projects that would require relocation. Periodically I do have availability for remote work with hourly billing. Serious requests should have clear technical requirements and an estimate of hours needed.

Q. I'm a recruiter, do you know any programmers who are available?
A. Maybe. If you live in the Twin Cities area and tell me FIVE things about the project: Title, Industry, Pay Rate, Length of Project, Technology Platform. Again, LinkedIn is a good way to reach me for initial contact.

Q. I'm a student, how can I make big piles of money?
A. Software pays well is because relatively few people have the combination of natural ability and stubborn curiosity. That being said, I'm happy to connect with junior programmers with short questions, feel free to link.
