Made enough money to build my 1st computer.High SchoolWent to the PLCC, became A+ & Net+ Certified. Who the heck does that at 16? I do. Landed my first job in IT at the Summit County Health. Loved and hated working help desk, though it taught me more than I could\'ve ever dreamed. How to work with people, the weird nuances of IT, and most importantly how to pick yourself back up after you fail. College Was a deployment technician with Timken during the week. Taught me significantly about data migration, virtualzation, and again how to be successful after a failure. Thankful for backups!During the weekend I led a team of deployment technicians at various PNC branches across Eastern OH and Western PA. The conflict resolution, leadership skills, and time management that I learned at that job have been invaluable to me. Boston Scientific.
