About

I wake up every morning hoping to learn something new each day.  I want to be a life-long learner.  I am an avid reader and book lover, especially non-fiction.  I have been active in the Friends groups in area libraries and took the lead to bring Little Free Libraries to two metro towns. But I also want to share my knowledge with others.

​

I have an Associate's Degree in Marketing Management with an Entrepreneurship Certificate from Kirkwood but I have always had a passion for technology since I was young.  From video games to resurrecting old computers, I have tried to learn as much as I possibly could.  I volunteered at the REACT Center (Rockwell Educational Access to Computer Technology) that rebuilt and tested used computers to be donated to Iowa nonprofits and schools.  For several years, I probed the minds of many of the volunteer engineers there.  During a college internship, I taught computer skills classes and held open help sessions for senior citizens and flood victims, which initially inspired me to start offering my services to family members and neighbors.

​

These life experiences helped me get into the Telecom/IT industry at 19 years of age.  I have worked about 10 years in the telecommunications industry since then.  I look forward to helping you.
