About me

My degree is in Information Systems Management from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida (Go Bulls!) I have spent 18 years in the Backup and Recovery space; as a Backup Admin, Technical Sales Engineer, and Technical Account Manager, working with products from EMC, HP, IBM, Symantec, Sun, SpectraLogic and Oracle. I have participated in over 30 successful Disaster Recovery tests, with only one (fairly spectacular) failure (when the tapes arrived at the DR site with water in the tote), and somehow enjoyed the 40 hour shifts, living on soda and cold pizza, and that feeling of knowing you put everything back together where it belonged. In my free time I can often be found playing bass guitar, which I do badly but loudly.
