Thirty years of IT experience across Windows, macOS, and Linux — on-prem and cloud alike. I mentor teams of any size, run M365 and Azure environments, know Fortinet and Ubiquiti gear inside out, and make IT easy for whoever's on the other end.
I've spent thirty years in IT because I like fixing things and explaining them without jargon. Desktops, networks, servers, cloud — I've worked all of it, and I still do the hands-on work myself rather than handing it off.
I lead technical teams and mentor engineers coming up, from small shops to larger organizations. I also carry the escalations nobody else wants — the ones that need someone who's seen the problem before.

Building up technicians and engineers, at teams of any size, while still owning the hardest tickets myself.
