Gary Conner
Embedded Services Administrator
As an Embedded Services Administrator at Advantage Technology, I serve as the on-site technical lead for a legal enterprise. I oversee server and datacenter operations across a multi-state footprint, directly managing the support infrastructure for fifteen offices across thirteen states. I lead a dedicated technical team, ensuring the consistent delivery of specialized legal technology services and maintaining high availability across the client’s national network.
Before coming to Advantage Technology, I worked for other large law firms, the WV Supreme Court of Appeals, the coal industry, and the nuclear industry.
In my free time, I enjoy blacksmithing, teaching martial arts, scuba diving, and spending time with my family and friends.
