About Me

Computers, American food and alcohol. That pretty much sums me up. I love constantly learning things. I'm the weird guy that will endlessly read random articles on Wikipedia for fun. I am pretty much always up for having some drinks. Anything but tequila that is. I like to write code. I spend about half my time with my kids. They are amazingly smart and constantly surprise me.

Employment

I currently work for a fast growing company in Lansing, Liquid Web. I've worked there since September of 2007 and just after a few months the company has almost doubled in size. I work in the dedicated setups department which means I build and setup servers for customers. It's a nice job with great benefits.

I previously used to work at Corecomm Internet Services, a dial-up ISP. I did a number if things there including work as a technical support coach for their call center. For that I was responsible for making sure new hires get proper training. I also trained new hires in special areas and then develop them over their initial 90 days. This includes monitoring calls and doing evaluations on employees. I also worked as a project developer on special projects such as helping create training materials and some small web coding for some internal tools. On the weekends I worked as point supervisor, which meant that I managed the technical support department and page out engineers if there are network issues and such. I also at one time took tech support calls. In the end I moved to the helpdesk department and worked on email support and did internal support of the computers in the office. I have been workied there from February of '04 to August of '07.

Here is my resume for more information.
