I have worked with computers since I was 8.  My professional career began in 1997.

1997 - I was hired to teach the Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Access etc.) to major organizations such as the Toyota Corporation and the City of Los Angeles.

1998 - I was hired as the system, network, and database administrator for a credit card processing company in California.  We had offices in Los Angeles, Woodland Hills (California), Dallas, Chicago, Las Vegas, Canada and Guam.  It was my job to secure reliable, encrypted communication (over the internet) between all sites and maintain every piece of equipment and software it entailed.

2005 to present - Currently, I am the IT director at Irving Tanning Company in Hartland, I'm responsible for the software and hardware health of hundreds of PC's, web servers, email servers, routers, switches, VPN's etc.

I have extensive experience with:
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP and most anything that plugs into them.
I love Linux, Solaris, and OpenBSD in server environments.
Much of my expertise lies in network and file security-- permissions, backups, remote access, etc.  I know how to configure and optimize a single computer or a complex network stretching across the globe.

In short, I have broad, intensive experience with most everything computer related, just about anything you can throw at me, I can solve.
