About me

Have been employed and working in the IT field and providing customers technical support for over 14 years and have been working with computers personally for over 25 years. I have worked with generations worth of different hardware, software applications and operating systems.

I was lucky to be part of the early computing days of the 8088 Intel processor. Since then I have seen technology continue to accelerate and as things continue to change. I have now realized, I never grow old of it.

I enjoy how technology has changed our world. I love learning about it and then providing that service to people that can benefit from it.

Today I consult for various companies from small business to fortune 1000. I provide infrastructure/application solutions that meet the demanding needs of my clients.
