Timothy Knuth
Network Virtual Support, originally Tim Knuth's Computer Services, began when I was a freshman in college. People that I knew kept me busy by requesting my services to help them with their computer needs: from building their computers, to fixing the ones that they had, to asking advice on what products to purchase. In those early years, hardware was not plug n play, and software was not controlled by a mouse.
Seeing that the future of computers lied in ways to connect them together to share resources, information, and files, I dived into computer networking. This launched my business into a whole new direction as a consultant. I went from building and maintaining custom computer systems to designing and building office networks.
Today I am still building and supporting networks and helping my customers leverage technology to fit their needs. I fell in love with networking in 1989, and I still love finding solutions, playing with the new equipment, learning about better, faster and more reliable ways of networking computers and in providing custom solutions for my clients. I have found my work within all the different aspects that I have been involved with to be rewarding and stimulating. I cannot wait to see what will be available next year as well as in ten, twenty or thirty years.
Going forward I have a high concern for network and computer security. This field excites me and I see that security is the next area that will see huge changes within the next 10 years. The demand on software manufactures to tighten security has increased year after year. As a network specialist I cannot ignore the issues of security, and will continue to strive to always provide the best security practices. To learn more about security keep an eye on my blog site.
