"Hands on" IT Manager, Infrastructure Manager, IT Project Manager, Network Administrator.

I am familiar with Microsoft, Cisco, Hewlett Packard, VMWare, IBM and Fortinet offerings to varying degrees. I have been an IT Manager since 2005.

I am used to being final point of technical escalation, managing projects, budgets and people mostly with a smile on my face.

I keep the plates spinning and enable others to get on with their jobs. I am happy talking to shop floor operators and CEOs, and can explain technical things to non-technical people.
