I gained a firm base in computers and networking when I enlisted in the Washington Air National Guard. Military training is some of the finest available, and mine led to years of managing computers and networks in corporate environments. I took small networks and grew them into larger, more reliable, secure and modern ones that helped power productivity instead of getting in the way of workers.

But that is just corporate computer talk. I love working on computers, and in particular I love helping the people who use them. My priority is always making sure you have the tools you need to get your work done.

For home users, I am most concerned with respecting your budget and saving you as much money as possible, keeping good backups, and keeping you and your children safe and secure on the Internet.

"I'll admit, some of my devices are just toys, but most are useful and used."

My interest in technology goes beyond work. I have Macs and PCs, smartphones, tablets, and the list goes on. I dabble a lot, try new technologies, and find out their strengths and weaknesses so you don't have to.

Away from computers, I'm an avid traveler. I mountain bike, downhill ski, and dream of being a professional photographer.
