“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” --Steve Jobs

I have spent a majority of my life in a PC support role at some level. I have a proven history of providing effective solutions in the technical field. In my early career, as a Computer Aided Drafting Tech / CAD Manager, I spent years customizing, organizing, and tweaking production applications to streamline project work for myself and my team. As a CAD Manager, I was a founding member of a corporate committee which developed an organizational standard for projects and implemented a company-wide CAD standard.

As a Regional Support Manager, I supported 9 offices and 250 end users, office LANs, printers, Cisco VoIP phones, and annual budgets in excess of $250k. As a LAN Admin, I was a member of a team which developed a virus cleaning process which was implemented company-wide. I was able to troubleshoot, test, and implement a compatibility fix which allowed an old emulator to work on the Windows 7 OS and save the company tens of thousands of dollars in re-licensing fees.

As a Systems Administrator, my position has given me the opportunity to do a datacenter overhaul, including replacing aging infrastructure with Windows 2019 Server OS, Dell Server hardware/VMWare ESXi for virtualization, Windows Domain Controllers and Active Directory implementations, Cisco Meraki firewalls, switches and wireless access points. I have virtualized the remaining bare metal servers on the network all while supporting the 120 local / remote users.

Whether in a SMB or a large corporate environment, no job is too big or too small. Whether I am given a CapEx budget or a shoestring budget, as either a team member, solo administrator or in a leadership role, I have proven that I have the know-how to get things done and I can and will thrive and be successful in any endeavor.
