| Introduction | I am currently seeking employment in the IT field. You can review my resume in your preferred format at the bottom of this page. I have been working in IT since I took my internship in the beginning of 2007. At the end of my internship, the 'real' Administrator gave his notice. I then had the wonderful experience of becoming the Systems Administrator, and that is when I really got the opportunity to to see 400% growth in the company in under six months! In a mission critical environment, there is a sense of urgency that school just doesn't have. With such a rise there was inevitably a fall, and I was phased out. I believe that as a sole administrator for a multi-site company helped to accelerate my learning,and I am more experienced than my years in IT would indicate. |

| Favorite movies | I am a student of Hollywood and follow most of what is released. I love good movies of nearly all genres....except for some reason, war movies. I can recognize that a war movie was good, but I just don't enjoy them. Just the war part though, I kind of like the bootcamp parts and such. Like "Full Metal Jacket" I loved the first half of that movie, but not after they got sent to Vietnam. Hmmm go figure? |
| Favorite music | System of a Down, Tool, Wagner. It seems that as I get older I am really starting to like heavier and heavier music. |
| Favorite books | Ender's Game, Bio of a Space Tyrrant, The Dark Tower. |
