Joining Rotary Club worked really good for me. But any service club membership or chamber of commerce networking helps a lot.

My name is Paul Ledbetter. I am a retired Marine Captain who has worked with technology since I was 17. Starting with home stereos and Heathkit TVs I’ve been an Avionics technician on F-4 Phantom jets, a CH-53 and CH-46 maintenance officer, IT Manager/Director for multimillion dollar companies, and now I have run my own IT consulting business for nearly 10 years.
I’ve ridden the technology wave almost since it started. My first computer was a Timex-Sinclair ZX-81 with a whopping 1k of RAM that used my TV on a UHF channel for video. With the exception of Web page design, there is very little I have not touched in technology, be it electronic hardware, structured cabling, firmware, software, network engineering or database.
My military leadership and administrative experience has also given me a lot of experience with team building and contracts management.
Contact me and let’s see how I can put my experience to work to make you profitable.

The only thing I do not do or cannot do with a very short learning curve is Web development. I am a problem solver and am very good at creating efficient systems. Good Web development requires a certain artistic creativity I just do not have.

Since automation is part of the core of what I offer, there is almost nothing I can further automated that isn't already.

For backups I use Backup Assist. It does all that Symantec products do without all the drama. I prefer disk-disk full backups due to the completeness and speed of the backups without the complexity and physical pitfalls of tape. I also create backup copies of all firewall, router, and switch configurations so that I can easily recover from corruption or should a firmware update wipe out the configuration. I do not prefer cloud solutions because for anything other than a personal computer, the sheer size of the data store can make a full recovery or bare metal recovery time prohibitive. Also, most of my customers are in rural areas where broadband stability is a problem so that impacts on my support decisions.
