I started in IT and Networking when I was 14 years old in Cisco Network Academy, along with various IT related electives. I joined the military at 17yrs old with a military occupational specialty in IT. I showed my networking skills and was moved into a Network operator position providing internet, phones, and other network capabilities to various military customers. This allowed me to start as a Network Technician at Arizona Public Services, allowing me to gain practical Network experience. Thus, catapulting me into more in-depth Network technologies as well as security concepts. Every position since then has been a step up, and welcome challenge to expand my experience and knowledge of the IT infrastructure.
