Chase Wilkening

Hello!

My Name is Chase, and I am an IT professional. My educational background is a B.S. in Information Assurance from Eastern Michigan University. I love to get my hands dirty in all aspects of IT. From networking and system administration, to scripting and programing. Right now, I am teaching myself more about full stack development.

I enjoy being handed a challenge and figuring out how to solve it. I always try to never say no to anything until I look into it and truly see if it can't be done or is beyond my current capabilities. Learning has always been important to me and is a priority for any role I take on. If I am not learning, I feel like my time is not being spent well.
