Ted Stritof
Technical Support
In my youth, I aquired a passion for technology. Basic programming came easily to me and I later became an Electronics Technician to better understand how computers work. Inspired by Themed Entertainment, and an affinity for crafts, I became a Theatre Artisan and a College Instructor. After taking time off to be a parent, I've come full circle and re-entered the world of technology.
As an Artisan I interpreted designer drawings and used my hands to craft solutions out of wood, metal, and/or plastic.
As a Teacher I found ways to inspire students to find their own solutions and take pride in their work.
As an Electronics Technician I used logic and troubleshooting techniques to understand why something wasn't working and then used that understanding to find a solution.
I am currently learning Active Directory management to improve my skills as a Support Technician and to lay the foundation for becoming a System Admininstrator.
Provided remote Tier 1 support to Pinnacles National Park using a combination of tools, including: GoverLan Reach, BMC Footprints, Microsoft Teams, email, and VOIP.
