Scott Blitstein’s Summary
Scott Blitstein, everyone’s favorite technology go-to guy, is the founder and president of eSeMBe Technical Services, based in Park Forest, Illinois. Through this endeavor, Scott is dedicated to helping professionals and small businesses optimize efficiency & productivity through intelligent choice and implementation of technology products.
Scott firmly believes that technology only benefits if it is the right application for the task, and is used properly. To that end, he is adept at helping clients master the operations of organization and automation that can be facilitated with a little help from technology. In addition to providing productivity enhancements, Scott creates custom websites for his clients, helping them to market their products and services.
True to his belief that the internet is a powerful tool for business and life, Scott is active in many online communities. He is a frequent contributor to Web Worker Daily and also shares his technological, musical, and humorous opinions at his personal blog, MyThermos.
Scott volunteers a portion of his time to local organizations including The ParkForesters who are working to create an online community benefiting the residents of the Village of Park Forest.
Aside from technology, Scott’s passions include music, his four feline children, Abbey, Beemer, Desi and Cooper, and his wife, since 1993, Gina. He is a student of guitar, as time permits, and a student of all things technology constantly.
