"I am a Technology Geek to the core. I live and breathe this stuff. I take every opportunity I can to learn and grow. All I can say to anyone looking to go this route is: if you are not willing to constantly learn to better yourself, diversify and grow, this line of work may not be a good fit for you. If you are willing to look at challenges in the face, stare them down and take them head on, you're in for a fun ride!"
