Computer Networking Professional
Montreal, Canada Area
Currently, I own and operate Service Montreal, a third-party computer service company which provides network consulting, hardware repairs and general telecommunications troubleshooting.
I am a very resourceful technician and administrator, self-taught in electronics, telecom and IT by virtue of a genuine love for technology and efficiency. I maintain an experimental corporate network at my home (complete with Active Directory, web and mail servers) where I try out new products and continue to update my knowledge and troubleshooting skills. I am fortunate in that I am often given free review copies of new products from Microsoft and other software companies as a result of my longtime hobby, appearing regularly as a technology expert on CJAD News/Talk Radio 800 here in Montreal. This gives me an edge in evaluating new technology as it emerges.
I have a long history of creating efficient and profitable service organizations from scratch, learning new skills as necessary. In my youth, I “paid my dues” working as a field service technician in industrial electronics, R&D researcher in telecom, and Service Manager in a large computer sales organization. With a partner, I founded my own service company which we sold (profitably!) to a friendly competitor after eight very successful years.
In my most recent position (Manager of Computer Technology Services at Marianopolis College), I transformed a small department originally responsible for just two computer labs into a true IT/IS department providing services across the campus.
Networks are my life and my goal is to keep busy with interesting projects, especially those involving very new technology.
Remote monitoring and remote control, network security, web analytics.
