I have spent the last several years as a caregiver for my father with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Before that I ran my own landscaping business for 14 years. Running my own business instilled several valuable characteristics. Customer service, project management, problem solving, motivation and leadership are just a few. While my landscaping business was successful, I have always been interested in IT, and so I pursued further education in IT. My plan is to transition into a new career helping people solve their IT problems.
