A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

Born and raised in Wisconsin I graduated with a Bachelor's in Business with a concentration in Management Information Systems in 2000. Immediately upon graduation I moved to Orlando in an IT role for a local trailer leasing company.

Originally part of a five person team, I became the sole IT Director for the corporate office of 20 employees and 13 remote branches across the country managing IT support for over 80 users. Through automation and streamlining of IT processes and procedures I was able to be much more efficient in my role and the support of my end users.

After obtaining my Master's degree in Management Information Systems in 2007, I began to teach as an adjunct instructor for Rasmussen College. In 2013, my role with the trailer leasing company ended (corporate buyout) and it was logical progression to move towards focusing on his own IT support services for small businesses. My thought was, "If I did it for a single company, why can't I run other small business IT departments"? Since then I've carefully selected clients that are the right fit for me to ensure we have the same goals in mind. Using technology as a profit tool to enable their employees while implementing security best practices to ensure their risk exposure is as small as possible.

PERSONAL NOTES:
I enjoy playing recreational soccer, exercising, watching NFL football, playing fantasy football and I am a big Green Bay Packer fan.
