Hi there,

Just a quick introduction,

Born 30 October 1980 (making me 26 yr in 2006). Did all my Training in IT space through the following avenues:

• TAFE
• OTEN
• Traineeship
• UTS
• Plenty of reading text books
• Life Experience!

Started life @ AustSTOR as a Service Engineer in 1998 and am now heading up Business Development.

AustSTOR offers a wide range of Data Storage Solutions, but our 'mantra' is Archiving. We as an organisation have developed a wealth of knowledge in the Archiving space and we have a lot of great partners and vendors to back up what we preach.

A little description of our partners:
