I think it's safe to say that I've heard it all when describing the stereotypical representation of the typical "tech" worker.  Often labeled a "Computer Nerd", they have their own entry in UrbanDictionary.com.  You know the type, that socially awkward guy sitting in the small closet; eyes glued to a screen with a box of half-eaten pizza discarded on the floor.  The view of the computer nerd in popular culture has certainly changed over the years but still, "IT" people have a bad rap.  Just last week a friend of mine was shocked to hear me call a Think team member an ENGINEER!  She didn't associate "a tech guy" with a respectable label like that.  

Sure, there are definitely those tech industry characters out there who are highly intelligent but lack customer service skills and prefer gizmos to human interaction.  But you probably won't find them working at a good MSP (Managed Service Provider). Our engineers are highly qualified, have advanced education and certifications. They have years of professional experience and are skilled at project management and speaking to customers on their level.   They listen and provide valuable feedback.  They talk about solutions, not just technology. And, their talent doesn't stop with your server.  They sing at music festivals, run marathons, race mountain bikes, cook up delicious treats and love to back country ski.

If you can't tell, I am very proud of our team!  They are well-rounded consultants and engineers with great personalities and they'd probably love to grab a beer with you.
