Hello! My name is Renick Taylor and I am a productive member of society. Now, we get back from society far more than one-person can ever put into it. That is because when we work together the sum of our effort is greater than the total individual effort put into it. By working together we can create prosperity, this helps to improve the lives of everyone.

I do my part by working with thousands of people to help maintain the Internet. Using my skills in Computer Networking and Technology Administration, I help Government, companies, groups and individuals achieve greater control over their destiny.

I am delightfully challenged by complex problems, my employers have consistently noted my professionalism and problem-solving ability. I am skilled in the latest technology available from fiber optics to wireless connectivity and can deploy these current technologies to lower costs while simultaneously improving the quality of life for patrons and staff. How can I help you?
