About
I’m an IT professional with a passion for IT Support, Networking, and Cybersecurity, based in Battle Creek, Michigan. I currently serve the Network Administrator for Greenleaf Hospitality Group, where I help to ensure the smooth operation of enterprise-critical systems and strive to uphold the highest standards of security and efficiency.
I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional development, and consistently strive to position myself with humility and a hunger to grow in the field
I’ve advanced my skills in Technology, third party vendor relations, and team leadership by taking every opportunity to stay engaged with my team and my role in supporting our company. I also have a personal passion for Linux and open-source software projects which I do my best to pursue on my free-time, some of my project summaries can be viewed on my technical projects page.
Beyond my full-time professional role, I also manage IT operations and website development for Greenfrog Lawn & Landscape. This venture allows me to blend my technical expertise with my interest in supporting small to medium businesses.
Thanks for visiting!
