Mixed with his mother’s friendly and outgoing nature and his dad’s engineer mindset, it makes sense ITinspired would become one of the places he calls home. With ITinspired, he’s continuing to grow and learn new things while using his skillset to ease the frustrations others face when their technology decides to, as Fleetwood Mac says, go it’s own way.
