I've been a blogger for over five years, as well as a social media professional. I've consulted with a number of companies on creating a web presence. I also specialize in finding simple solutions — lifehacks — for complicated problems.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and empowering people with technology. I have been a systems administrator for 12 years, worked in web design for 10 years, and have presented technical courses for a wide variety of topics to age groups from children to seniors.
In 2007, I branched off the 8 year old http://linuxchic.net website by starting the weekly tech show, http://alternageek.com which focuses on a broad range of technology subjects.
Topics I prefer include WordPress, LAMP, Linux, systems administration, VMware virtualization, podcasting, and blogging.

I spent a couple of decades as a teacher and trainer, working with both individuals and groups. Although I no longer usually provide training I am still available to speak about web topics.
In 2006, with Maria Langer I wrote WordPress 2 Visual QuickStart Guide. I am also the author of an ongoing series of WordPress articles for Informit.
