I first found an interest in computers
when I was quite young. My father used Macintosh computers for his graphic
arts business and I can remember playing in programs and games such as
Fullpaint, Stunt Copter, Oregon Trail and Lemmings. As the years went
by my father upgraded to newer Macintosh computers, and in turn I upgraded
to newer
games for them such as Warcraft, DOOM, and Myst. At this time and even
up to my final year in high school, the information technology wave hadn't
hit at all and I was only lucky enough
to get one general computer class in my graduating year. Because of the
lack of computer education I had in high school I didn't really know
much about computers, but I knew I enjoyed using them and found it to
be quite amazing with what they could do. I graduated high school in
2000 and was uncertain with what I really wanted to do so I took a position
in my parents business working as a pressman.
In
2001 work became quite slow and I decided it was time to further my education
with something I was more interested in. Computers just seemed too fascinating
for me to pass up so I enrolled at South Hills School
of Business
and Technology and entered into the Computer Information System track majoring
in Network Administration. At the time of starting college I finally
got my first
computer,
this time it was a Windows based computer. From then
on I started learning in college and exploring at home. Trying different
things on my own and getting help from my teachers and advisors when I would
get in a jam. I immediately became surrounded in computer technology and
I loved every bit of it.
Now
I am still surrounded in computer technology and I am still enjoying it as
much as the first weeks of college. I am currently working for myself running
a small computer consulting business doing anything from upgrades,
to small network installation, to complete custom built computers and
everything
in between. I am still looking for a position in the information technology
field so if you are an employer reading this, please consider me for the
position. I have gained a lot of experience working for myself both on the
computer side and the business side, but I know there is always more
experience to gain when it comes to this field of work. |
