I was born and raised in beautiful Northeast Tennessee. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy fresh out of high school and planted my roots in Hawaii when I left the military.

I’ve been employed in several IT related businesses since coming to Hawaii and have recently gone solo in the IT field, providing my services to End Users and Small Businesses in Hawaii looking to add the latest tech to their repertoire or leveraging their existing technology to better use. I obtained my MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) status on March 25, 2006 after passing MS Exam 70-282, which will also qualify my business for Small Business Specialist Certified status.

Geek pretty much describes me to a T.

The only sport I follow religiously is College Football where I follow the Tennessee Volunteers (surprise, huh?) week in and week out. Following in that vein, the SEC is where it’s at. You can’t convince me otherwise.~ When the College Season starts, I keep an Excel sheet handy where I rank the SEC teams in head-to-head competition statwise to determine who’s “best”. Keep an eye out for that if you happen to be an SEC fan. And a plug for the best UT forum out there: http://www.volnation.com/forum . You can find me posting there during football season as HawaiiVol.
