Biography

Growing up, I’ve always been surround by some form of tech. That is how I stumbled into my chosen career path. I’ve always had an inclination to all things tech. When it comes to computers, I guess I am a nerd. So when the opportunity arose to do what I love, I took it. My career started in 2011. I was first introduced to basic networking, and from that moment, I became hooked. Ever since that time, I have had opportunities to work in various areas in IT and Development. Out out all those areas, I discovered that I am a network admin, through and through. I am a lover of Linux, Apple, and all things that involve networking. I always strive to provide the best networking experience possible using my charge.
