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.

I wonder how this compares to other "micro-pc" systems? Systems such as RPI2 or the Arduino have done wonders for hobbyist and companies alike.
It's funny how most people that are "older" (over 30ish) remember the Apple II and Commodore 64 as our first computers. I wrote my first program on an Apple II. Then left the computer world until almost Windows 95 came out. We still had the Windows 3.1 at home. It wasn't until very late that I started using Linux. Less than 2 years ago. But I can fully say that the journey into Linux has been great. I have turned a lot of people into Linux users. I still have to use Windows for work. But using Linux as my server, media center, and main computer OS has been.... as one might say..."plug-n-play".
Thank you for your story. It helps illustrate what the IT industry as a whole should look towards.
