Summary

I've been employed with Hunter Communications for roughly 8 years now. I started working as an internet installation technician. During which time I gained experience with wireless internet and fiber optic connections. I then transferred into the NOC group and have been there for the past five years. I run and maintain our voip platforms and handle all service calls regarding voip issues. I'm certified to climb as my job also includes installing and maintaining equipment on our communication towers. Right now my main focuses are running, operating, and troubleshooting, providing tech support, and installing the voip equipment.
