Mike started programming at age 12 in QuickBasic, Fortran and eventually Pascal. Following his new found passion, he enrolled at Penn State University where he graduated in 2001 from their College of Engineering with a Bachelor's in Computer Science. After college, Mike did a brief stint as a programmer in Microsoft technologies before finding his stride in infrastructure.
Since most of his work in Data Centers was with Disaster Recovery/BCP, Architecture, Operations, and Engineering in Windows NT/2000/2003, Solaris, and Linux, he decided that solutions work in infrastructure was his niche.
For the past 6 years, Mike has been doing solutions with Fortune 100 companies in infrastructure and business process, interfacing with CIO's and CTO's, helping them to architect solutions so they can reach their goals. His expertise is in Cloud Computing with a focus on infrastructure as a service, Google Apps Solutions architecture, and cloud infrastructure development for Marketing lines of business.
He resides in Northern NJ with his wife, 2 sons, and daughter.
