Check out my Professional IT Blog at www.alexappleton.net

I've worked in IT for more than 10 years, and have been involved with supporting and deploying hundreds of networks in all sizes from a few PCs to thousands of them. Working in IT is my passion, and I love the exciting changes and challenges it brings to me each and every day.

As a senior IT support professional, I help keep critical network infrastructure running and available for many local businesses and organizations. I take tremendous pride in developing and deploying solutions that provide maximum return on investment.

If you or someone you know is frustrated with their IT systems, I can help.
