Jeff Fazio’s Summary
I have been working with computers and networks for about fourteen years now. I started out working with Banyan Vines and have worked up to Windows 2003 server. I have experience installing and configuring servers and troubleshooting issues that come up. I have worked with Exchange 5.5 through Exchange 2003. I have setup and configured Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe.
My goals are to find a company that will allow me with the opportunity to work with new technologies and have the ability to grow within the company. I would like to be a part of a team of professionals that help one another solve problems and work together on issues that come up.
