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.

Your articles about OpenStack have been helping me learn it at home on my home lab setup. Keep up the great work Jason!

PlayOnLinux and Wine are great programs to run those MS programs that everyone "just have to have". I have found that if someone is asking for those types of programs it is due to not wanting to learn anything else. It is the " I don't like change" syndrome. I get that change is hard for common end users; heck even some IT professionals it is; but if they take the time to actual learn the alternative they will find it does exactly what they want and sometimes better. It's a mind thing.
