Charles Boulet <cboulet@verizon.net>

With degrees in neuroscience and education, Charles began his professional life teaching physical sciences in French-immersion public schools in Alberta, Canada. During that time, he authored two manuals for chemistry education in French and pioneered a new practical approach to science education. In 1995, Charles was invited to be part of a team of educators who established Canada's first fully publicly funded K- 9 virtual school.

In the late 90's, he left public education to pursue a full time career in systems consulting by starting his first technology company. In this capacity, he worked with numerous government and education bodies providing network, data management, and security solutions. In 1998, he accepted a position as Security Technology Coordinator at Canada's first diamond mine in the Arctic where he worked with North America's leading physical and data security providers. After holding that position for three years, he returned to private consulting in education-based training and software solutions and systems security.

Charles is now living in the Portland, Oregon area where he is consulting with a new software development company. His current focus is on development of cutting edge integrated solutions for desktop, handheld, and network for ophthalmic clinics, and professional health education. To that end, he is pursuing a doctorate in optometry (O.D.) and will graduate from Pacific University College of Optometry in 2008.
