I admit, I'm a somewhat of a telecom geek, I've enjoyed being in and around telecom for most of my life. My dad was a central office switch tech for 30 years with A&T/Bell Atlantic/Verizon.

Occasionally our home would get a call in the middle of the night to fix a "trouble". Like most kids I wanted to be like my dad, I would wake up after hearing the call and beg my dad to take me with him to fix the "trouble". We’d hop in the car in the middle of the night and drive to the central office.

This cement building with no windows, filled with clickity clacking switches and bundles of colored wires was pretty cool to a kid in the single digit age range. I’d run over to the teletype machine and look at the printout. My dad would then tell me what the "trouble" was, and then we’d go around and around the rows of switches, up and down a ladders, all the while my dad would be snipping here and pulling wires there, then whamo, the "trouble" was fixed and we were on our way home.

And Now?

For the past Twenty years I’ve been helping IT, Telecom, and Finance personnel from small enterprises to the Fortune 100 meet their objectives of lowering costs and implementing productivity enhancing voice, data, Internet and mobile services.  

A lot has changed since I was a kid, we’ve moved from X.25 networks to MPLS, circuit switched to SIP Trunking, no Internet and limited bandwidth to Exabytes of data moving across public and private networks worldwide.

Some things haven’t changed, and that’s my dedication to staying informed and providing expert advice to my clients on PSTN/TDM to IP Voice Migrations, MPLS Deployments, telecom expense management, mobile device management, telecom auditing, and carrier services.

If you're looking for help lowering monthly telecom or mobility expenses or would like to get a competitive quote for carrier services give me a call, my direct line is 858-332-2122.
