Working in the IT field as a system administrator for 20 years, the last 11 at a civil engineering firm as their System/Network Administrator in a one man shop, as well as doing all desktop support, has been a great learning experience.
Ripping things apart and figuring out what makes them tick and how to make them better are some of the things that makes me a good technician and problem solver.
In 2010 I was a founder and the conference Chair of the inaugural Professional IT Community Conference, a two day community conference for system administrators. I am also a board member of the League of Professional System Administrators.
When I am not in front of the computer working on PICC or LOPSA I like to spend time reading and watching movies and television. I am also an avid cook and certified barbeque pit master.
