Personal

I grew up in Sedalia Missouri where my father owns a construction company and my mother owns the Wheel-Inn Drive-In.  I lived there for 24 years, working in construction and various factories.  I moved to Warrensburg when I got married, and have been in Kansas City for 6 years.  Sports and technology are my two hobbies, and I spend a great deal of time working on learning new technology that I can use in the workplace.

Education

I have two Associates degrees from State Fair Community College, the latest being an Associates in Computer Programming.  I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management - CIS from Park University.  I am currently pursuing Microsoft's MCTS certification, and have plans to pursue a VMWare certification as well.

Professional

I have been in IT for 8 years and Server Administration for 6 of those years.  I credit Accent Marketing for giving me a good foundation, and The PurpleGuys for the bulk of my knowledge.  I am currently working at H&R Block as an Infrastructure Engineer.
