First of all, welcome to BsnTech Networks!  The name "BsnTech" came from a computer technician that I used to work with.  When I built my first computer, he placed a sticky-note on the front of the computer and it said "BsnTech".  The name was then born from there - and "Networks" was added on to make the company name "BsnTech Networks".  I have extensive experience with computer software and hardware in addition to web design, server administration, and others listed below.

• Microsoft Windows Servers & Client Operating Systems
• Linux (Ubuntu) Operating Systems
• Apache, Exim4, Dovecot, Horde, ProFTPd, Bind9, MySQL
• Computer upgrades & builds - hard drives, memory, processors, cases, power supplies, video cards
• Web Design including MySQL databases, PHP server-side scripting
• Basic Search Engine Optimization Services
• Domain Name Management
• Computer system security
• Local networking including Cisco equipment
• Active Directory and SQL database administration

I have over ten years of experience with various systems.  I possess many industry certifications that prove my knowledge; including CompTIA A+, Network+ , and Security+ certifications, Microsoft Certified System Administrator (2000 & 2003), CCNT, and Dell DCSE.

In addition to certifications, education is also important to me.  I graduated from Lake Land College with an Associates in Applied Science majoring in Network Administration.  I then went on to complete a Bachelors degree at the University of Illinois.

Over the past decade, I've been helping Brian with web, graphic, and animation needs. My passion falls in this field, therefore, I will work with you to bring your unique graphic concept to life! I take pride in creating outstanding quality work, always with the ability to modify any aspect to get closer to what you envision. I am very proud to be a part of this team. My goal has and always will be quality services and presentation at affordable rates, which is exactly what you’ll receive. Visual appeal is very important because the more attractive and organized the website is, the longer people will stay and browse.

How did I get started?

From the moment I turned on my first computer over 15 years ago, I was hooked! From that point forward I researched, experimented, and taught myself software programs that enable you to modify graphics, animations, and websites. Adobe Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop are the image programs I use most frequently as they are extremely versatile and allow complete creative control. My individual understanding of the diverse tools available within these programs give a unique foundational starting point for any image, logo, or animation design.

Throughout the years, I have gained Adobe Flash software experience with a beginning understanding of AS (Action Script). We offer volume controls, loading bars, and interactive content with your animation. Sound and music embedding services are also offered if you desire music and effects applied.

This has never felt like a "job" to me, it has always been play time, which is why I realized that this is ultimately the direction I want my education and career to go.
