    Dwayne Schamp

    Nomad by nature. Started work in San Diego with Josten's Learning working on Dragon Tales (this was before the overly sappy kids cartoon. I still have my puppets!) Moved to Austin to continue work with them. Moved to San Jose to start with with Academic Systems from 94 - '01 creating courses with Authorware (oh, how I miss thee). Then moved cross country to MD, and continued to telework for Academic Systems. Accepted job at Pfizer as eLearning developer using Lectora and Articulate, and anything else they wanted to spend money on. As the training department dwindled yet again (but what else is new), started working freelance for Visa using Articulate Suite full time. I then accepted a job at the US Federal Courts as Sr. ISD/Developer using Lectora, Articulate, and Smartbuilder. After seeing the writing on the wall there, I accepted the current position of Sr. Technical Trainer, eLearning Team Lead at BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. I have a great team and look forward to expanding the way we can use Articulate in the future. Spare time spent traveling on weekends to see local and not-so-local sites, transporting dogs/cats to new forever homes, and trying to keep my sanity.
