Hello,
My 20+ years of small business ownership gave me invaluable experiences. Marketing, sales, customer service, team building and budgets are just some of the areas I worked with on a regular basis. I am a consummate business professional, and I still believe that ethics, integrity, and determination matter.
For the last 10 years I have traveled far, slept little and worked hard to create a full time income from a side hustle as an IT Field Engineer. What I like to call a digital consultant. I have mostly worked in the digital signage space but there are very few networked gadgets that I have not installed, upgraded or repaired. I am a fast learner and a tenacious problem solver. I NEVER SAY QUIT!
I am passionate about technology, marketing and leadership and I feel that good is the enemy of great and I am constantly seeking greatness. I am seeking new opportunities with likeminded organizations.
Thank you,
Mike Burnett
