Biography
Born and raised in New Hampshire. I attended Bishop Guertin High School and went on to get a BS in Resource Economics from the University of New Hampshire. Through a strange twist of events and a hobby of playing with computers I landed a job at the University as a work order writer for the telecom dept. An opportunity opened up in the network dept and I applied in hopes of learning about networking computers. 6 years later I am now the manager of the Wide Area Network for the USNH system. I am completely self taught when it comes to networks and networking technologies.
I have been married for 9 years, and currently live in the seacoast region of New Hampshire. We have 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 horses. I met my wife at the University so it has played a large role in many events in my life. We share a lot of the same interests and hobbies. She also works for the University and has been there for 14 years.
I have a wide variety of interest outside work. I have been a musician for 15 years. I only played in bands until a few years ago. In 2005 I decided to build a small studio out of a mac-mini and garage band. Now all my work is done over the internet.
