Growing up a nerd, I always loved computers and often found a way to have my hands in things. In high school I assisted the school with their needs and built my first set of business cards! Early in 1996, I landed a job doing helpdesk in Mechanicsburg. What a door that would open, and from there I ended up working in Systems Integration for what was then the areas premier consulting firm. Eventually I ended up as an IT manager for that company.
Began studying for my Certified Network Engineer (CNA) through ADT Data Systems in 1995.
In the fall of 1996, I got a job working for ADT Data Systems.

Growing up, i always had a curiosity understanding how things work. From a young age I had built many computers and taken apart my share of electronics! Moving through school, my interest shifted toward server and network equipment. I originally started the workforce as a PC technician and in 2008 began working with Mills Information Systems as an IT Consultant. Serving the business community as a consultant has opened a set of doors like I had never experienced before. I now work in a variety of businesses supporting their server, network, computer, storage and backup infrastructures.
Began working secularly in IT in 2004 and obtained a succession of certifications during Vocational School, in the Information System Technology elective. Continued education post-school by obtaining: A+, Network+, Server+, Security+, MSDST, VMWare VTSP/VSP, Microsoft Exchange 2016 certifications. Currently studying O365 Identity and Services MS-100.
Began work in 2004 with a computer repair chain. Moved into consulting in 2008 with a team of engineers and have continued consulting to present.
Growing up, I always had a talent for math. I minored in computer science in high school. For many years I was able to pursue my primary focus of volunteering to help others without distraction. In 2006, my accounting and organizing skills were useful to help the business get started. The more the business grew, the more I learned about accounting, business administration and hardware.
Graduated locally at Mechanicsburg High School with honors.
Previously worked at an investment brokerage where I developed my customer service skills. Began working at MillsInfo in 2006 in the financial side of the business.
The work I enjoy the most is ordering core hardware items for customers and then seeing the results of the implementation. A picture of a neat and tidy server/switch rack is satisfying.
