Ben Ahlquist Email & Phone Number

A former web developer turned IT nerd—although I still do some web development projects on the side. I'm currently working for Bedford Technology as a "Computer Network Specialist". As the only IT person in-house, the position title is a little misleading, as I take on every IT-related challenge that occurs across my company's three locations.I enjoy puzzles—but not only the jig-saw variety. Working in IT presents me with daily challenges and puzzles to work through, with an appropriate amount of "busy work" to keep the days flowing by. I love the challenge of learning something new, or re-learning how to do something better/faster/more efficiently.I do still dabble in website development and have a few sites going on both WordPress and Drupal CMS platforms.IT Specialties: Microsoft domain administration: Active Directory, Group Policies, Print Management, Powershell scripting.
