Personal philosophy
I pride myself on keeping up with emerging technologies while remaining well-versed on the industry current equipment. I believe this particular position is very diversified and multi-faceted when it comes to the varied skills needed to successfully navigate a normal work schedule. I am just as comfortable crawling through a ceiling and installing conduit and cameras as I am logging into a multi-layer network switch and configuring it to work optimally with the other equipment I installed. I thrive in this role and I was lucky enough at one point in my life to find that out.
