Objectives
My life has had two focuses; personally I have spent many years of my life helpi
ng to improve the lives of young people through teaching basic human values in 1
st and 3rd world countries (I grew up in a missionary family). Professionally.
I have constantly applied myself to the field of IT as my personal passion and i
nterest throughout the last 10 years. Through study and application I have enjoy
ed many years, and the many more to come of hands on troubleshooting and managin
g IT environments and computer users.
I work with a passion and have a mindset that does not allow me to give up. In e
very case the goal is to enhance my environment, use tech to increase efficiency
, and place a high value on life, respect and responsibility.
I am a very responsible person and work well with people (many people) of all ra
ces and cultures. I feel comfortable and perfectly at home in a productive envir
onment. I offer dedication to the job and will commit to becoming an asset in yo
ur company.
