Experience
I founded ComputerServices.bz in 2000. What started as an after-school interest in my senior year of high school has blossomed into a full-blown career and passion.
In addition to over 20 years of experience and a degree in networking, I have earned numerous industry certifications including the prestigious Certified Wireless Design Professional certification. These certifications enable me to test and prove my knowledge while keeping current with industry standards. Most national retail chains only require their geeks to take a single open-book exam before considering them qualified.
I am personally employed by a large school district as a computer and network technician. That employment provides a wide range of experiences that few computer techs have access to. I am also subject to background checks and drug tests, unlike other independent computer technicians
