► Highly experience systems administrator and MSP professional with a mission to teach the skills I've built a career on to aspiring IT professionals, while also "showing my work" and passing on new skills I'm learning. My primary focus is learning and applying practical offensive security skills, then showing how a systems administrator would prevent those kinds of attacks.► My background includes developing and deploying efficient, secure, and stable technology standards for managed service clients. These standards not only result in higher profits for clients by reducing downtime and cyber risk, but reduce the time to resolution for technical staff.► I am proficient in bridging the gap between technical and business requirements, molding those requirements into technology architecture, and explaining requirements to decision makers in plain English. I also pride myself on my ability to each technical concepts to different types of learners, along them to learn how they like to learn while imparting what knowledge I can.► When I'm not working with technology, I'm spending time with my family, writing music, or trying to find time to golf (which I'm terrible at).
