With over 25 years of practical small business IT consulting experience. I am familiar with most operating systems and the equipment you will find in the typical small business environment. My areas of expertise include network design and administration, disaster recovery planning and implementation, workflow optimization in addition to break/fix. Some of the operating systems I am have supported include Windows 3.x/95/98/ME/2000/XP/7/10/11, OS X 10.4.x – macOS 13.x, and various Linux distributions including Arch Linux, Ubuntu, and Debian 9,10,11. I am experienced in deploying and supporting Windows Servers including NT 3.5.x, NT4, and Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016/2019. While I spend most of my time working in macOS, and Linux, I am growing to like Windows 11.

I have a wide range of practical experience working on desktop computers dating back to the IBM AT/XT series and even some older, proprietary systems. In the 1990’s I built a fair number custom computers for business and gaming purposes. During this time I supported a wide range of network operating systems including Concurrent DOS, Windows for Workgroups, LANtastic, Novell Netware and Banyan Vines. In the early 2000’s I standardized on Windows networks, deploying Dell computers, including PowerEdge servers, Optiplex desktops, and Latitude laptops. Configured and maintained properly, I’ve seen these machines operate for a decade in the production environment.

I know mail servers, I can support Google G Suite, as well as Microsoft Office Online (Azure AD), in addition to various other FOSS (free and open source) software that you probably use on a regular basis.
