About
I was born in
Kokomo, Indiana, March 3, 1979 at Howard Community Hospital. I
am the only child, thank God. I sometimes wish I had a brother or
sister, but glad I don't. I have lived in Kokomo from birth to1985. I
spent my first three years in town. And five years spent in a
subdivision on the west side on Kokomo. We moved to Russiaville for the
rest of Intermediate, Middle and High school then going through some
college. I never left the state as far as living anywhere else.
I have accomplished a lot in my life. Like computers for example. I am
not afraid to touch a computer of any kind. I have had computers in my
life and all around me. Computers have spiked my curiosity in what and
why they do what they do.
I am married to Denise. Within 1+ year or so we plan to have initially one
child, hoping for a girl, who we would like to name Krista Leah, if a
boy we have decided Nigel. We plan to have more than one child, but it
is based on finances. The current economy situation doesn't help
things.
From
Indiana University from Kokomo,
I am almost finished with my Masters of Public Management with one class
to finish. I have just received my Certificate of Public
Management. I also have a
Bachelor Degree in Information Systems while minoring in
Criminal Law from Indiana University,
an Associate Degree in CIS-AS (Computer Information
Systems-Associate of Science) from
Ivy Tech State College Kokomo, and an additional Associate Degree in CPT (Computer Information Systems and Technology) from
the
Purdue extension in Kokomo.
My desired job is to be a Network/System Administrator or an IT
Manager/Director. I currently work full time at Ivy Tech Community College here
in Kokomo as a Desktop Administrator. I manage our computer department
consisting of 2 1/2 staff plus lab assistants/work studies/interns with all of us assisting and
helping our region facilitate the help services they need to get their
job done using Information Technology such as computers, telephones, and
networking. Our Region consists of the Kokomo Campus, Logansport
Campus, Wabash Campus, Peru Campus and our Outreach buildings. We work
on 1000+ computers and 40+ servers which most servers are virtualized. I also, outside of my main job, teach
Continuing Education classes and also run my own business repairing
computers. I currently have my A+, Network+, and Microsoft Certified System Administration
certifications.
My retirement which I seriously plan will be in California (Pipe dream,
who knows, one factor I can't stand about Indiana is the fickle weather,
especially hot and humid, and allergies). It all depends on the future
job I get. I have been saving up for retirement. And with the money from
the "right now future job I hope to have" it will be a comfortable
retirement. |
