About Glenn Berkshier

*** PROSPECTIVE LINKEDIN CONNECTIONS, DO NOT COLD CALL OR PITCH-SLAP ME. ***I DO NOT accept cold calls on my phone. If you knowingly call me on my cell to pitch me, you will NEVER reach me. For those of you that somehow got my cell phone, it's not an invitation for you to pester me there when I don't answer you on my office phone.So what is Pitch-Slapping? It's the super annoying trend of people on LinkedIn that are only here to build up their personal network to gain prospective clients, or build up sales of their products and/or services. They send you an invite, and the minute you connect, they immediately hit you up with a sales pitch, or just want to get someone to help them inside to further infiltrate.Doing these things will get you sent straight to the delete bin:1 - Pitch-Slapping. JUST DON'T DO IT.2 - Immediately ask me to introduce you to someone at my organization that may be a better contact for your products/services. 3 - Start sending me unsolicited email. Linked connections are not an automatic opt-in mailing list. Just because I'm connected to you, doesn't mean I want any of your emails. ASK FIRST.The really bad ones will do this without even trying to connect to you on LinkedIn. If you do any of these things, you are a TERRIBLE PERSON, and I will know that you haven't taken the time to read my profile, which probably means you don't follow instructions very well! The minute you hit me up with a sales pitch, your connection to me will be removed, and I will purposely, permanently lose your contact info.Now that we have that out of the way, here is who I am. I have over 30 years of experience in the Information Technology arena specializing in all aspects of computer hardware, software and security; network design, construction, maintenance and management; Internet service including DNS, website hosting, FTP, email hosting including anti-spam and anti-virus gateways and devices; strong leaning proficiency with Microsoft branded software and services. And more recently, IT operations management. Specialties: Computer hardware, software and network consulting, design, construction, troubleshooting & support; website hosting; email hosting; network and Internet security.I have advanced experience with IT support, maintenance and management in many different business arenas and verticals: SOHO, Insurance, Legal, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Non-Profit, Retail, Entertainment, Education, Travel, Financial/Banking, Marketing, Government (local, county, state and US), Construction, Automobile and Hospitality.
