 "If you must take a step into the darkness of the unknown believe one of two things will happen... Either you'll find
something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly!" Patrick Overton

for home health care agencies in Western North Carolina. She has been in the bookkeeping field since 1995. Though her background is
more accounting based instead of computer related, she has found herself the go-to person to solve basic computer related issues at
most of her previous jobs. It seems that she has a knack!

 "I believe that in the IT services field, customer service and communication is at least as
important as technical ability. If I can help a customer understand what I'm doing, then they will have more trust in me to take
care of their technology." Jeremy Ward

years working for Getronics Information and Communication Technology Services to provide network and desktop support for Booz
Allen Hamilton, a global consulting firm. In 2003, Jeremy brought his experience and his MCSE certification to Asheville. He
