Making everyone's lives easier one problem at a time. - Josh Adams

I have had close to 8 years of experience in the Information Technology field as well as experience with Marketing in multiple settings. I posses a deep understand of network architecture across multiple industries. I have heard many comments such as; "Josh Adams is a pleasure to work with." "Why can't people be as helpful and as understand as Josh Adams?" "Why can't the other tech guys be as normal as Josh Adams?" Overall, I am currently looking for new opportunities with new industries and new area's of focus, such as Administration and Project Management. I know I can bring a very positive scope to overall operations of any business and keep costs down in order to drive profitability. I look forward to what the future holds and what we both can gain from working together.
