About Me
An Atlanta GA native, I've made my career in IT, based here. I chose IT when I realized, after graduation from UGA, that there were a lot more jobs out there in IT than there were for photographers and graphic designers, and that the IT jobs paid better. I've had the good fortune to travel and work all over the US.
I've owned two successful IT consulting firms, specializing in network & information security. Clients have ranged from very small businesses to Fortune 100 enterprises.
I have recently graduated with an MBA from Kennesaw State University (class of 2011).
I have a gorgeous, brilliant, fun wife (as of 10/10/10) that loves to hear all about my latest authoring exploits.
