I have been involved in the telecommunications industry as long as I can remember. One of my best memorys is sitting on a packing crate at age 8, helping my Dad install equipment in a small central office in Okalona, Arkansas. I was strapping blocks (wiring) for a STEP installation.I have worked for several ILECs including Bellsouth
In the mid 80s as the line between IT and Telecom began to blur, I became more involved with IT and networks. During that time I earned several Microsoft and Cisco certifications.
My latest venture is working for Hardy Services and getting something called Site Support Services started.
The Site Support Services Department was created to offer turnkey support for Mission Critical Infrastructure. We instal , reapir and service all types of data center cooling , UPS and power systems, fire suppression systems, acces flooring, data center security access control and video.
Although I am very familiar with Information Technology and the facilities that maintain that infrastructure, the mechanical side is new to me. I am learning as I go with the help of lots of folks here at Hardy and all the online training available to the industry.
I thought I would share my "learning experiences".
