It is said that IT is an industry that never sleeps, which is fitting because as a father of three young children, neither do I. After graduating from high-school in 2001, I started working at an Internet Service Provider and was on the front lines of the transition from dial-up to broadband. In 2006 I joined School District 57 supporting schools and various District initiatives. In 2011 I joined POPFASD as the program transitioned to online training. More recently I have dipped a toe in the pedogogical waters, spending some of my evenings moonlighting as a college IT Instructor, passing on hard-earned lessons to a new generation of IT professionals. I love to build (mostly useful) things, I'm passionate about computing, and I love to empower people through technology. Fortunately, POPFASD provides many challenging, yet rewarding opportunities and is staffed with folks who champion my strengths and graciously accommodate my stretches.
