My Career<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nI have been working in Information Technology for over twenty (20) years.\u00a0 \u00a0Much of that time as a Microsoft Windows \/ Intel “Server Guy” for a number of industries,\u00a0 working with VMWare, SQL, etc. As a generalist I am a Jack of all Trades (thus my blog logo).<\/p>\n

The last seven (7) years I have been the leader of a service desk dedicated to user access management and controls.\u00a0 We apply ITIL and Agile best practices and just recently established a refocus on a Lean\/Six Sigma management style with a program known as Continuous Improvement.<\/p>\n

I am responsible for managing my teams time, and believe that the best way to do so is to empower them by giving them the opportunity to learn, guiding them through the difficult areas and trusting them to do the right thing with the skills they have acquired.<\/p>\n

My Family<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am happily married to a photographer and graphic artist, and I am the proud father of a wonderful little girl.<\/p>\n

My wife and I run the neighborhood Facebook page. My wife focuses on school information while I work with my neighbors on any community tasks. We organize events and coordinate with neighbors to try and create a positive and safe environment for our child (and our neighbors!).<\/p>\n

For the Holidays – my Wife, Daughter and I love to decorate for the holidays. I use a product called a “Light-O-Rama<\/a> to combine music and lights.<\/p>\n
