About Ben

ben-mooreBen Moore has 12 years of computer and network technology under his belt. A “school of hard knocks” graduate, Ben started from the bottom as a bench tech working on laptops and laser printers. Sometimes by choice, and sometimes due to the economy, Ben worked his way up through multiple jobs. Always willing to learn, he absorbed many different technologies and learned how to be the “all things to all people” that small to medium sized business needs out of IT. He has had the opportunity to work with a full spectrum of tech that includes OS Networking, Hardware Networking, PBX & VOIP support, Application Management (VMWare & Citrix), sound systems, and DVR security solutions. Currently, he is the Microsoft guy at a media company, tackling the worlds of Windows 7, SCCM, Exchange, OCS, & Server 2008.

Ben spends his personal time with his wife and three kids. He is active in his church, and enjoys singing, playing the sax, & learning stringed instruments. A wannabe sportsman, he enjoys hunting and fishing when he can get away. He is the storyteller of the family and maintains the histories and genealogies of his family and the farmland they have been on for 200 years. Ben rambles his thoughts on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/kyjeeper).
