I'm excited to be at Fruitport in this role.  Each day I endeavor to bring my passion for technology and education along with my 20+ years of IT experience  to support the students and staff of FCS. 

I'm a graduate of MCC  with an A.A.S in Network Administration and Baker College with a Bachelors of Information Technology and Security. I continued at Baker College as an adjunct instructor for 8 years after I graduated. I hold a number of IT related certifications including MCSE, CCNA R&S, CCNA Wireless, CWNA, CWSE, JNCIA-MISTAI, Network+, Security+, and several other Microsoft Certifications. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children.  I've coached youth, middle school, and travel baseball for the past 10 years and also served in the  President and  VP roles for the North Muskegon Youth Baseball Club.  If I'm not at the keyboard there is a good chance I'm at a baseball field.  

I have been working with computers in some form since high school.  Always interested in gadgets, technology, and how things work, it was natural for me to move into a career working with computers and the various electronic devices of today.

Inspiring the love of reading and the use of technology by means of working with students and staff in the development of a user-friendly library media center is an extremely rewarding experience.
