Biker Tom...

Well I remember the days when I didn't know what a hard drive was and how scary it was to visit a web site, let alone code one in HTML.  My goal is to allow people to feel comfortable yet informed when visiting your site.

I have attained MCP, MCSE, MCSA, MCT, A+ (PC Hardware), Network+, Security+, and MOUS (Office) designations, plus a Business Administration diploma in Management and Marketing just for the heck of it.

I am comfortable with all versions of Windows in the networking, software, and hardware areas - and I'd be glad to help you in any way from instruction, to setups, to web design, or just small talk.

Designations:
- Business Administration from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (Management & Marketing diploma)
- Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)
- Microsoft Office Expert (MOUS - Brainbench)
- Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT)
- PC Hardware & Software Certification (A+, Network+, Security+)
- Web Designer (Web Master)
- Automotive Journeyman Partsman (AJP)

While Tom has many certifications and diploma's to show for his hard studies, his greatest boasts come from the comments made by his students and clients on the evaluation forms, post-class emails, or in person.  [Here's a recent picture of Tom in action...]
