In Practice there is." - Yogi Berra This famous quote certainly holds true for all forms of computer/electronic technology! I came to Green Mountain Union High School in April of 2006, after 4 years as a computer technician/server specialist for the Keene, NH schools, and 3 years previous to that in the Wilmington, VT schools. I enjoy the challenges presented by the diverse needs of an educational environment, and strive to provide a current and reliable technology experience for students, parents, staff, and administrators. I was born in Readsboro, VT, grew up in Orange, CT, and now live in So. Newfane. I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Babson College. In recent years I have been a Certified Apple Desktop Technician, and have attended many advanced training courses, including Apple Server Management and PowerSchool University.
