30-something guy who loves God, people, music, and computers, and happens to be reasonably good at the latter two.

IT experience is nearly all self- and real-world-taught with no classroom and only a wee little bit of book learnin'. I'm driven by the dual motivations of being unable to leave well-enough alone and the desire to make technology work better for the user.

My experience is mostly in Wintel systems administration and user support, with a smattering of *nix experience, mostly in the CLI, mostly on test machines and small-role systems, and I've acquired that experience in a wide range of professional business environments ranging from fast-food mega-conglomo-corps to international law firms to one of the largest corporate banks in the world, to small manufacturing firms and government departments.
