A BRIEF HISTORY

Computers and Information Technology have been a passion of mine for more than 25 years. I have constantly been involved with the newest technologies. Information Technology as a career, however, will be my second career. For the previous twenty years my primary job was that of a working DJ. During my career as a DJ, however, I always stayed on the leading edge of technology; designing and implementing computer-controlled lighting and sound systems that were the first of their kind in the areas that I worked. Finding that career did not offer the stability I need in this part of my life, I made the decision to go back to college and acquire the necessary education and certifications that I needed to begin this new career in IT.
