To whom it may concern,

I was most recently employed with UC Davis as a TV Technician on a limited contract basis. Prior to

this I was employed at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) as the Campus Audio Visual

Technician. I worked at SAIC from 1999 to the August 2010 and at UC Davis in many capacities related to the

support maintenance, installation and repair of campus A/V resources. My interest in these endeavors is to

provide the best possible environment for students and faculty to present and communicate ideas and keep those

resources in optimal working condition.

My skills and abilities include:

• working experience in Linux, OS X and Windows operating systems and related tools and utilities

• working experience in office applications such as word processors and spreadsheets

• creation and administration of Linux-based Virtual Private servers since 2004

• Linux desktop installation and administration since 2004

• Windows and OS X desktop installation and support

• configuration of A/V control systems

• installation of A/V hardware and related light carpentry

• electronics troubleshooting and repair

• ability to properly use hand and power tools and machining devices.
