Duane Bristow's Resume

I am interested in any offers of employment/business deals from anyone that would be of mutual advantage, particularly requiring computer programming in MSDOS, consulting in forestry, land management, land development, or opportunities regarding the development of the Internet but not limited to those things.

I am now involved in:

Farming - Beef Cattle, Tobacco, Hay, Pastures, & Timber.
Land Development - I have a few clients with large areas of undeveloped land for sale on the shores of Lake Cumberland in South Central Kentucky.
Computer Consulting - Systems analysis, custom programming, office personnel training, etc. in the fields of Oil Purchasing, Medical office billing, Pharmacy billing, Accounting, Water and Gas system billing, piecework payroll systems and several other fields.
Forestry - Timber cruising and evaluation, land management, forest management planning, damage appraisals, and expert court testimony in forest trespass cases. Take a look at a sample timber cruise report.

I have worked in Forestry, Agriculture, and Land Management since graduating forestry school specializing in forest recreation in 1968. I am very knowledgeable about timber, land, and recreational developments in South Central and Southeastern Kentucky as well as adjoining parts of Tennessee. I have a number of clients with large land holdings in the area and have contacts with many other large landowners and community leaders. I often work with bankers, attorneys, and realtors in timber appraisals and providing expert witness testimony.

I am often asked to assist in purchases and sales of land and/or timber in rural areas. Purchases and sales are usually done on a percentage or finder's fee basis and other work is usually done on a per hour basis. Computer consulting and programming work is also done on a per hour basis.

I live and have a family farm in Albany, Kentucky and prefer to work within a two hour driving radius. My family has been in this area for 200 years and I have many local connections. This is particularly valuable for people from outside the area who desire to invest in rural areas of southern Kentucky or Northern Tennessee.

References are available on request.
