PROGRAM: Steve Plumlee, Classification Speech
 
 
Steve began by sharing some things about his early life and upbringing starting in Baytown, Tx just south of Houston.  He included a funny story about beer that you will have to ask him about.  His family moved to Maryland, and Steve graduated from Penn State with a degree in Media studies.  While at PSU he started doing some IT work on campus and he also realized shortly after taking a job in a video production company that he was not so enamored with corporate filmmaking.  He worked at a Gateway Computer store and moved onto an IRB company involved medical records handling via technology. In 2005 he moved to Baltimore earned various IT certifications and eventually relocated here in Hanover and began his own IT support business.  He has new interests in the management portion of a company like team building, goal setting, personalized attention to clients etc.  He focuses his support to clients on making sure that the technology fits the business and that they aren't sold products that they really don't need or aren't suited for.  He has a Team of 13 serving 70 clients.  He has seen a dramatic increase in the number of hacking attempts from Russian entities trying to access his clients and even himself.
Away from Steve enjoys anything NOT TECH related like mountain biking, snow boarding and he is putting a garden.  

Steve gave us an insightful view into his career thus far and did it in a light-hearted, laid-back manner.
