Can A+ Actually Get You A Job? | The Truth From An Actual @CompTIA instructor

On A Mission To Help 1 Million People Get Into Tech Careers By 2027!

I help regular people break into high-demand tech careers. No fluff, no gimmicks—just results.

I’m an Army vet, a tech educator, and the founder of Master I.T., where I’ve helped over 15,000 folks go from "What the hell am I doing?" to "Damn. I actually work in tech".

My mission?

To make tech careers accessible, future-proof, and maybe even a little fun.

Military Experience
From the Battlefield to Problem-Solving Like a Pro

I got my start in the U.S. Army, serving in Afghanistan where things didn’t exactly come with an instruction manual.

Rising to Staff Sergeant taught me how to lead, adapt, and solve problems on the fly—skills I now bring to the tech world.

Because if I can manage chaos in a combat zone, trust me, I can handle your IT career transition.

Education
Nerding Out With a Purpose

After the Army, I hit the books harder than a Netflix binge. I earned my Bachelor's in I.T. Management to master the technical side of the game and an MBA in Information Technology to get strategic.

Why that combo? It’s like coding meets chess—unstoppable!

Tech Expertise
Almost 20 Years in the Game

For two decades, I’ve been living and breathing tech. Networking, cybersecurity, cloud computing, A.I.—you name it, I’ve done it.

And with over 12 I.T. certifications (think CompTIA, Cisco, AWS), I stay sharp because tech waits for no one.

My secret sauce?

Teaching people how to master these skills without losing their sanity.

Founder of Master I.T.
Changing Lives, One Tech Job at a Time

I built Master I.T. for one reason: to help people break into tech careers—even if they’ve never touched a computer beyond Netflix.

My Zero To I.T. Hero Program is a 16-week program that transforms complete beginners into job-ready tech pros in just as little as 90 days.

No fluff, no gimmicks—just real training that works. Over 15,000 students have leveled up with me, and I’m just getting started.

Fatherhood
The Real Boss Job

When I’m not building tech careers, I’m a full-time dad to twin daughters.

They’re the reason I hustle—because creating opportunities for others means building a better future for everyone.
