About Lost Squirrel
My Story
As a Marine Corps and Army veteran, I bring with me a discipline instilled by the military with an unmatched work ethic. I started in the information technology field as a system administrator for the U.S. Army. After Advanced Individual Training for the 25B military occupational specialty, I was thrown head first into system administration. Since then, I have worked multiple levels in the IT universe. I found my passion in system administration and building new solutions.
