I was born and raised in the Metro Vancouver area and have lived here all my life. I currently reside in Abbotsford, BC. I am married with three chidren and own my own home. I have a variety of interests and my biggest for the last 12 years has been computers and networking. Networking was a hobby until about five years age when I started to do the IT work for Flag Chev Olds in Surrey BC as part of my Technical duties repairing cars. In 2005 I decided that networking needed to be more than a hobby. I then attended CDI College in Abbotsford, BC. I took their Network Administrator's course. This course took me 1 year and 8 months to complete, while working full time as an auto technician. While at CDI College I achieved a 94% average in my studies.

My years as an Auto Technician have served me well. I have learned how to complete jobs in timely fashion with quality workmanship attention to detail. More importantly I have been performing drivability and electrical for the past 8 years which has given me very strong diagnostic abilities. All of which translate nicely to the computer networking field. The automotive workplace is a very professional, and result oriented place. It has to be, as we put people’s life on the line everyday when working on a car. If you have ever lost your brakes, you know what I mean.

I am professional, motivated, a team player, and eager to increase my knowledge in all aspects of networking and computing. I have a natural curiosity and I am very interested in networking and computers. I will make a positive impact on your business and your team.

I look forward to interviewing with you and discussing how I can help move your business forward and what I can bring to your team.

Thank you for your time

Don Ford
