Corn detasseling in Indiana at 14 was the most demanding job I’ve ever experienced.Working at a full-service print/photography/prepress shop in the early ’90s helped pay for college as I studied design, photography, and typography (in the UK). While working at an ad agency in Chicago in the late ’90s, I started “Forget Computers” to help creative professionals with Apple technology. (This was the year after Steve Jobs returned to Apple, and the world predicted Apple was doomed.)2011, I created the first Apple device dashboard using Jamf Software Server APIs. It has gone by the names "Device Scout" and "Dashboard" (yes, just "Dashboard"), and today is known as "Vision-Bot." https://www.ntiva.com/apple-services-security-support/apple-mdm-vision-botI spent 22 years building Forget Computers into a leading Apple-focused technology company with excellent customer service, solid communication, and a growing obsession for security best practices. Forget Computers was acquired by Ntiva in Dec 2020 and became the Ntiva Apple Team.I have presented on Apple topics at the following events:• Addigy User Summit• Apple Stores (when that was a thing)• CES (Yes, the one in Las Vegas)• Executives Technology Club, Chicago• Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC)• Macbrained.org• MacIT at Macworld• MacTech Pro and MacTech Bootcamp• X World, Australia (Keynote speaker in 2019)I have been a guest on the following Podcasts:• Apple @ Work• Mac Admins• CMD-CTRL-PWRI rephrase complexity into simplicity. I translate between technologists and Luddites. I advise organizations on how to streamline, organize, communicate, and best use Apple technology — while remaining secure. Communication is critical.
