Objective

My goal is to use my imagination to make people's ears bleed.

Summary of qualifications

I have provided support for computers in Dos, Windows, and Macintosh environments for the past 12 years. I also have some experience with Linux and UNIX. My interest in computers involves both hardware repair/upgrades and software installation/troubleshooting in networked environments and has been quite varied. I enjoy helping others utilize computers to express themselves and become more effective in their pursuits. I am also interested in developing webpages with quality content.
