Townsend for County Commissioner — Brazoria County Precinct 2

Early life

About me: Originally from a small town in Arkansas.  I left home just after my 18th birthday and joined the US Air Force. They thought I was mechanically inclined because I could tell the difference between a screwdriver and a hammer.  So I spent the next 4 years as a Flight Mechanic.  After my stint in the military, I went to a trade school just outside Washington DC to learn Computer Programming. I completed my Undergraduate work at Ashford University in Iowa with a major in Organizational Management and went on to attain a Master's Degree in Cyber-Security and Computer Forensics at Bellevue University in Nebraska.

Career

Over 39 years of teaching Computer Science at both Houston City College and San Jacinto College.  With 48 years of experience managing Software Engineering, Building Teams,  Projects, and delivering results.
 
Carlos Townsend will bring responsibility, sensibility, and proven leadership to the Commissioner’s Court.
 
Professionally, I worked in Programming, Systems and Network Administration, Oracle, Sybase, Postgres, Informix, and SQL Database Administration, Security, and Cyber Security & E-Discovery Expert.

 

 

For many years, I worked as a consultant both as an Independent consultant and for different companies.  I have worked both for San Jacinto College, as well as more than 36 years at Houston City College.  I enjoyed teaching so much over the years and decided again to share my experiences and education. 
 
I believe that bringing real-world experiences in conjunction with an education into the classroom is a good mix. I'm the father of 3 sons, all of whom are all over 30, and a wonderful 15-year-old grandson to keep my life very busy.
