My name is Armando Lopez and my professional handle is “MandoITguy”. I’m a 42 year old stay at home father, fiance, and student at MATC and I reside in Brown Deer WI.. I moved to Wisconsin in the fall of 2005 from my hometown of Chicago IL..
The picture above of me was taken at my former place of employment at AT&T while at a telephone pole climbing class, where I worked as U Verse Premises Tech installing and servicing Telecommunication devices. This is where the “IT Networking Bug” bit me. Unfortunately I suffered a neck injury and my overhead type work career was over. I enjoyed working at AT&T where I looked forward to the daily challenges the job had to offer. The most I will miss is the teamwork atmosphere that is definitely needed to complete the job. Before AT&T, I worked for a small security company in IL. installing and servicing burglar, fire, and entertainment systems. The company closed in 2002.
After being bitten by the IT Networking Bug, I decided to return to school. I strongly believe that you are never too old to learn a new career. I'm currently in the process of obtaining an Associates Degree in the IT Networking Specialist program, with the expectation of graduating in the summer of 2014.
Besides obtaining my Degree in the IT Networking field, I have a Social Media Goal as well. I will join more Social Media networks, continue to use them to learn about issues facing us, learn more about my fields of interest, meet people whom share the same interest near and far, create a Social Network of IT peers, and research prospective companies I will work for.
