About Geoffrey Shilling
"About Me" pages have always been my least favorite part of making web sites. I think these pages need to share the right amount so that people can learn a little about you, but not so much as to bore them. I decided the best way to do this is to make a short list outlining my life and interests.
Basically, I...
...am a very laid back person.
...am a 29 year old living in Bluffton, OH.
...worked as a division LAN administrator for 3 years.
...worked as a Technical Support Analyst for 1 year.
...am the creator, owner, and editor of Computer Tips for Free.
...recently began learning how to develop applications for the Android platform using Eclipse.
...was first introduced to computers by my grandpa back in the late 1980's with the game Mixed-Up Mother Goose.
...first used the Internet around 1995 with dial-up, provided by AOL. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. At the time.
...also remember when I first started using the Internet, that they were tying to publish directories - similar to phone books - with all the web pages online. We all know how good of an idea that turned out to be.
...have my Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems.
...was stationed on a U.S. Navy Submarine for four years. Don't feel bad - I was stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI.
...have visited about 35 states and want to visit all 50 someday.
...love being outdoors.
I love working in the technology industry; technology is work I don't mind taking home with me. I take pride in and enjoy being able to help people get their computers working again. Working with networks can be very challenging, but it's also rewarding when you have it running smoothly. Recently, I started getting into social media, particularly as it relates to business and marketing, and I feel this is also a direction I wouldn't mind pursuing.
