About
I developed a passioned for technology at the early age of 5 years old, when I built my first computer, which was an 8088! I learned BASIC programming at the age of 10, and won a programming contest for a program designed for the Commodore 64.
I have served in many facets of the IT world from PC Support Technician, to Web Designer, to Consultant. I have enjoyed working in a corporate environment as well as having the satisfaction of being a successful business owner.
I have specialized in technologies such as Coldfusion (since version 3), HTML, CSS, MS SQL, mySQL, Linux, Windows, OS X, JAVA, Swift, Adobe Creative Suite, Active Directory, and much more.
Currently, I have enjoyed the opportunity to share my experience and knowledge as a professor at ITT Technical Institute. I have found it immensely rewarding to nurture my students' hunger for knowledge.
