About

Having over 25 years of IT experience, I have always taken a hands-on approach to help others with their IT needs. From working with vendors to help cut costs across the organization, assisting with daily troubleshooting issues, planning and mapping out disaster recovery sites, data center moves, and office/warehouse network build-outs. All while focusing on the overall security of the infrastructure from on prem and cloud, to keep the business moving forward.
