Also CTO of a regional <br /> Heathcare Company with +200 employees. Because of my strong understanding of <br /> Networking and data systems, I feel I would be great fit for the Broadband Task force. My <br /> house and my office all have high speed Internet. I would be joining the group to help the <br /> community, not to service my own interest. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> Worked with Jim Northrup on the Orange County Broadband Committee for a number of <br /> years. <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Orange County Broadband Task Force <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I have worked in the technology field my entire working life. Worked for Marvel Comics. <br /> Certified by Dell, VMWARE, EMC, Checkpoint Firewall, Microsoft and ISACA in the technology <br /> field. Owner of a 25 person computer solutions company for+18 years in Orange County. CTO <br /> of a +200 person Healthcare company based in Durham with offices in OC. Offices span From <br /> Charleston, SC, Johnson, Durham, Wake, Orange, Mecklenburg, Ashe, and Buncombe <br /> counties. Broadband, W IFI, Security and reliability is what I engineer. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> To help our community and help residence. I have broadband at home and office. Really fast. <br /> +700/45 at both locations. This is not for me to get broadband. I spend money and ran fiber <br /> extensions years ago. Before that, I operated a Farm to Farm WISP to deliver internet. I want to <br /> look at how OC can go from one of the worst counties for internet to Fiber to the House and 1 G <br /> x 1 G speed to 80% in 5 years. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I am an engineer. I will listen and understand viewpoints always. If those viewpoints have data, <br /> facts and repeatable results, I am 100% open. <br />
