I've been in the I.T. field for a while. I know I don't know everything and when my knowledge isn't enough, I have many resources at my disposal to help me.I love meeting folks. I was raised on a farm and I'm used to good, hard work. I believe in the power of a firm handshake, and I believe it still means something. My professional specialties are: Windows Server and Linux administration and security, VMware VCenter administration, lab management, writing documentation, developing relationships, and running Ethernet cables through the ceiling without bumping my head. Dirt on my hands and under my fingernails is a badge of honor. I've ripped many a shirt on the job. I'm willing to tackle tasks that are outside of my regular job toward the success of my employer. Heck -- I'll clean toilets; just pay me.I love a challenge, and I don't give up without a fight. I run toward fires.I stay with a task until it is complete and my customer is satisfied. I wear several hats. I pride myself on the relationships I have with those who depend on me.
