WEBVTT 00:00.840 --> 00:03.062 Hi , I'm Michael . Your again ? This is 00:03.062 --> 00:04.062 my D c mn . 00:11.040 --> 00:13.373 Thanks for joining us for their synergy , 00:13.373 --> 00:15.429 Michael , For this session , I'll be 00:15.429 --> 00:17.596 using the video recording capabilities 00:17.596 --> 00:20.010 on Microsoft teens . So to start out , 00:20.020 --> 00:22.353 you tell us a little bit about yourself . 00:22.353 --> 00:24.550 I am a local I specials from the New 00:24.550 --> 00:26.550 England sector . I'm out of the D C 00:26.550 --> 00:28.980 made Harford office , located in East 00:28.980 --> 00:31.147 Hartford , Connecticut . I worked with 00:31.147 --> 00:33.313 both Aerial Cruz and Walter Vega , who 00:33.313 --> 00:35.840 support the area of Vermont , Western 00:35.840 --> 00:38.070 Mass and most of Connecticut . I've 00:38.080 --> 00:40.191 been working with GCM A for about 6.5 00:40.191 --> 00:43.500 years . I'm also a cyber security 00:43.500 --> 00:45.860 analyst , and I'm also a local wireless 00:45.860 --> 00:47.916 admin . Can you tell me a little bit 00:47.916 --> 00:49.980 about what got you into I t a little 00:49.980 --> 00:52.560 bit about your I t background ? Yeah , 00:52.560 --> 00:54.560 should be easy . It's a pretty sure 00:54.560 --> 00:56.671 story . So when I was eight years old 00:56.671 --> 00:58.838 on Christmas morning , I came down the 00:58.838 --> 01:01.320 stairs and my parents revealed my first 01:01.320 --> 01:03.376 computer , except there was an extra 01:03.376 --> 01:06.090 box with some cables and a sign that 01:06.090 --> 01:08.090 said , Figure it out . I joined the 01:08.090 --> 01:10.201 Connecticut National Guard at the age 01:10.201 --> 01:12.479 of 17 . Eventually , on my deployments . 01:12.479 --> 01:14.423 I was dubbed the I t . Guy because 01:14.423 --> 01:16.534 again they would come to me and I had 01:16.534 --> 01:18.590 to figure it out . I love this about 01:18.590 --> 01:20.534 being an I T . Guy because there's 01:20.534 --> 01:22.868 always something that needs to be fixed , 01:22.868 --> 01:22.620 something that needs to be figured out , 01:22.820 --> 01:24.931 and it really is just a part of who I 01:24.931 --> 01:25.980 am , the driving force .
