I currently handle the IT support for a large local business. Although I use Windows everyday, you will find I try to use Linux and open source software anytime I can. I use Linux at home on several RPI2 devices and computers. I dabble in audio still but IoT has become a passion of mine recently. I am currently studying for The Linux Foundation System Administrator certification.

When I am not working on computers or IoT devices, you will find me outside on my family farm. Yes, you heard right. I love spending time with my wife and children on the farm. They are the reason I do what I do everyday.

You can usually find mind on LinkedIn. Send me an email any time.

One of the first things I put in that documentation was how to use Teamviewer on his Linux PC. That way, if he had any issues that he just had to have help with, I could just take over and show him. I'm just a phone call away and can remote into his computer anytime he needs me to.

It's great to see the "older" generations getting into the world of computers and Linux. It just goes to show that no matter what age you are; it's a matter of a person sitting down to learn something new. My 88 year old grandfather can't stand his Windows machine. I sent him a Linux laptop and made some very basic instructions for him (he lives in NH and I am in NC) and he can do everything as before, but with less frustration.
