About Jump Box
Hello my name is Phil Swain located in London Ontario. My interest in computers grew when
I was seven years old. My parents purchased our first computer and I essentially took it
apart and rebuilt it multiple times to learn how the computer worked. Throughout
elementary and high school, my interest for computers grew. I started researching how I
can make a career out of computers.
I decided to go to college for a diploma in computer networking and technical support. We
learned of vast array of different technologies such as Windows server and Linux. We even
learn some programming languages such as C++ and Perl. I graduated with distinction at the
top of my class and started looking for work.
Because the economy was so slow, I decided it might be better for me to return to school
for a graduate diploma program at Fanshawe College. This program is focused on information
security as well as the business management side of IT operations. I will be completed
this at the end of April 2012.
I've also taken interest in certifications. I currently have pass the CompTIA A+
certification and I'm now working towards getting my CompTIA network+ and CompTIA
security+ certifications.
I'm looking for a career that can allow me to develop my skills in the IT field as well
as personal development. Learning is my number one passion in life and I want to continue
to learn for a lifetime.
