"I’ve always been the
stereotypical nerd. My dad has worked as a network systems engineer for HP my
entire life. He’d always bring home broken computers and hardware for my
brothers and me to fix. I built be first
PC from discarded components when I was 6. My mom is a classically trained
concert pianist and passed her musical ability on to her children. I attended
college on a full scholarship for instrumental music. In recent years, I’ve
begun semi-professionally competing in cosplay contests at comic conventions.
My costumes have been highlighted several times in local news publications.
I’ve never been a person
capable of doing only one thing at a time. I frequently have more than one
employer in order to round out my life. I came to Liberty Mountain after a year
of working at my full-time job where I monitor and support media streams to and
from a myriad of customers and companies. I nearly never actually see the
computers I’m logged into or even meet face to face with the customers I’m
supporting. Liberty Mountain affords me the opportunity to get back into
working with physical hardware and friendly faces."
