Summary

I have always had a love, interest, and passion for technology and computers. I worked on friends' and neighbor's computers when I was about 16 and was self-taught. I was starting to build computers and learning to write code for programs such as Microsoft Basic and Microsoft Visual Basic. I am very familiar with computer software, back about 1994, I went to a vocational school for about a year instead of graduating earlier so that i could better myself in computer building and code writing skills. I became MCSE (Microsoft Systems Engineer) when i was 17. I also got into stereo and home theater to better understand how it operated since some of what i knew and learned in a way crossed over, i started in a HiFi retail shop in Fort Myers, FL, and have been in doing the same thing since 2003 when i started my own company. My background with new PC systems includes but is not limited to

*Microsoft user interfaces which include all versions of Windows

*Routers, modems, and many other internet technologies and how they work

*Setting up and managing VPN (Virtual Private Network) software and hardware

*Connecting computers to a network from beginning to end

*Setting up essential other peripheral items like printers, external hard drives, laptops, and PCs
