I live in Colorado. Moved here in February of 2018 and it has been quite the adventure. Before that I was living in Rhode Island for almost seven years. I had moved there for a job working with information technology in the motorcycle industry which was a great opportunity to combine two passions of mine. I went to school in Utah from 7th grade to college. Although I put my education on hold for my opportunity in Rhode Island I am planning on going back to finish a degree in Computer Engineering.
I enjoy riding motorcycles. I have been riding for about 10 years now. I own several motorcycles and each has its own charm when it comes to the style of riding. I love that motorcycles can make for a great tool for transportation but also a way to enjoy life. I personally choose to work on my bikes on my own if I can help it. There is a lot of pride when I'm able to get my hands dirty and end up with the results I want in the end.
I am also a huge fan of technology. I have been working with technology since I was about thirteen years old. My first computer I owned had a lot of issues; this gave me an opportunity to learn to resolve them.
Lately I have acquired a passion for hiking and camping. It's not something I ever did growing up. As odd as that may be since I was living in Utah. It's definitely something I had always been interested in and as of late I have been exploring my love for nature. It's always an adventure and never goes as expected.
I have more than 14 years of professional information technology experience with infrastructure, system administration,
databases, development, software use and end user support. I am seeking a fulfilling position meeting all IT needs in a dynamic professional environment within a growing organization; where I can utilize my creativity and innovative thinking when faced with new challenges to benefit the organization
and better myself.

When it comes to strong idea building within an organization, often excellent ideas are brought out by the people who work day to day with whatever aspect of the workplace is being discussed. However, it can be difficult to bring those ideas to the people who need to hear them. It is possible that the ideas is blocked by a single individual, or forgotten due to heavy workload. Not only does this decrease good ideas from being implemented, but it can also leave employees and collaborators feeling unappreciated and unheard. Re:invent seeks to remedy the situation by giving an open platform for idea discussion and maturation. Not only does it give employees a voice, but it gives employers the tools with which to hear that voice.
