I've always had a passion for technology, particularly when it comes to using it to make tasks easier. When my friends approached me about starting a company that would focus on incorporating electronic components that would work together to automate tasks, I couldn't resist. I had earned my BS in Information Technology in 2007 and worked as a Network Administrator with FireTrace, a fire suppression equipment company in Scottsdale. I was responsible for monitoring network performance, software maintenance and troubleshooting networking issues to ensure operational continuity.Prior to moving to Phoenix with my wife Susan and children, I was a principal owner in Simple Home Networks, a home network and computer repair service for three years in San Diego. I worked out in the field building relationships with customers while my partner handled back office operations.Before deciding to pursue a career in information technology, I worked at Sea World for ten years in various roles; Safety and Risk Management Assistant, Scuba Diver, Public Relations Assistant, Assistant Manager Food Service Warehouse, Human Resources Representative and was a part of the Beached Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Team. I then worked for the San Diego Humane Society as an Animal Care Attendant. Recognizing my technical savvy and an opportunity to fill a gap within the organization, they created a position for me in the operations department as a Special Projects Manager responsible for supporting new operational technology implementations.I love technology and all that it offers. The best part is making it do what you want it to!
