About

My professional IT career started early in 2011. My first job was kind of a lucky situation for me. A friend of mine had already started his professional and collegiate IT career years prior, and was a manager of a local Managed Services Provider. Thanks to this friend I got my foot in the door, and eventually decided that this was what I wanted to do moving forward. I worked my way through several positions: Network Engineer, Network Admin, Technical Operations Manager, and where I'm at now 8 years later as a Business Systems Analyst Senior Principal Consultant.

When I'm not working or learning some new technology, I'm with my beautiful children, and Wife. I would not be where I'm at professionaly without their love and support. They motivate me to be a better father and husband.

I created this website as an online resume, knowledge base for my self and my colleagues, and a place I can post about current projects.

Thank you
