Over 20 years of experience has spanned almost every level of the IT industry from MainFrame operations, Desktop Break/Fix, Network Administration and now Development has prepared me for just about any situation that can arise. Experience at all of these levels have honed my troubleshooting skills and allowed me to be able to think outside the focus of any current project I am on and find the greater overall issue. Many years of customer facing support has created the ability to understand what clients are really asking for and help them to get the support or product that they truly need.
