Professional Experience

I have been a Professional Network Administrator and Computer Technician for over 20 years.

  • I managed and expanded a small network, starting from about five workstations, in the late 1990's. I was the primary person involved in upgrading the network from a Novel server network, with Windows 3.11 workstations on a 10-base-2 network, to a Windows 95, 98, then ME network with a hybrid Novell and Windows NT server, on a 100mbps Ethernet network.

  • I have set up several Internet gateway systems and many consumer based Internet routers.

  • In 2001 I began to manage and maintain a network of about 60 employees, at 2 locations.

  • I was involved in every step of upgrading the network from Windows 98/ME with an NT server, to its current configuration of Windows 7/10 workstations, Windows 2008-2016 Servers, with active directory, on a full one gigabit Ethernet network, and VPN connectivity between all offices.

  • I maintain file synchronizing tools for our six regional office locations.

  • Due to my long history and experience with PC's, and the Windows operating system, my strongest skill is computer and Windows troubleshooting.
