I am an IT professional and tech expert, social media enthusiast, a sports fan, organ donor advocate, and fan of Edmonton.
After graduating with a diploma in Information Technology and Systems Management at MacEwen in 2006, I have been an IT pro for almost 15 years. I have extensive experience supporting a user base of roughly 150, as well as many of the servers and services behind the scenes that make everything go.
As much as I work in IT for business, consumer technology is my true passion. I’ve been interested in the space before the days of YouTube and social media, and have been following along as devices like phones have gone from novelty items to the most important computers in our lives. It’s cause a fundamental shift in our lives that I don’t think we even fully understand yet, and exploring that is something I’m interested in. I could talk tech all day, and playing with gadgets is just fun. I like to think that my knowledge is helpful to the people around me, as I’m often the person who fields technology related questions in my circle of friends and family. That is something I want to expand, and this website is a platform I want to do that on. (But if someone wants to pay me to talk/write tech, I’m on board).
I've been an active Twitter user since 2007, and am a fan of Social Media in general. Social Media has changed how we do many things that are in some ways bigger than the internet itself. This fascinates me, and I constantly work to explore that.
I also love sports. I can watch almost any sport, but my true loves lie with Hockey, Football, both Canadian and American, and curling. I am a devoted and frustrated Oilers fan, Elks fan, and Packers fan. You'll often find me watching a sport of some kind on a screen of some kind.
Organ donation is something that has affected my family directly. While I fully understand it is a personal choice for each person to make, I encourage everyone to at least consider signing their donor card. It can save lives.
