As a Senior Telecom Architect at Advantage Technology, I help design, maintain and repair telephone and other communication systems for a multitude of clients both large and small. I have a nearly 40 year history working on a wide range of communication, network, and electrical systems.
Before coming to Advantage Technology, I worked in many different industries, including automotive, chemical, natural gas, cable TV, and higher education.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, jazz music, spending time on the beach with my wife, and flying.
