Bio :
I am a father of three and together with my wife moved from Austin,
Texas to the mountains of Northern New Mexico. We strive to enjoy a
simpler, healthier, stress free lifestyle that was difficult to achieve
living in the city. I have been able to take that space and serenity
that our present situation affords us and translate it into a higher
level of service for my clients and partners. I have been managing
business networks and servers over the wire full-time for the last
several years, even while nestled deep within the forest. I am able
to save my clients money by passing along my own cost savings and
only working on the necessary tasks to accomplish their business
goals. This means that my clients save money as compared to the
real cost of a salaried technical worker who may not be able to focus
on the most important issues. I help to provide perspective and a
"fresh pair of eyes" exactly when they are needed.
