Who Is Mike McCarty?
A Navy veteran who spent almost 12 years serving on 2 different submarines, first as a Nuclear systems mechanic, then as a Nuclear systems supervisor. Constantly being at sea was not the long term career choice I wanted and found my second career in Information Technology (IT). Started out where many others start in IT at the Help Desk and help many titles some of which included systems administrator, network engineer, & crypto device SME (subject matter expert.) My favorite position was as an instructor at Year Up in Seattle, WA. Helping young adults learn about IT and gaining entry into a Helpdesk or Desktop Support position was very rewarding. It has been by far my favorite job due to the work and more importantly the people I worked with and the students I served.
Where am I?
I live near Elma, WA, a town west of Olympia and about a 20 minute drive. My life is with my amazing wife Jennifer and our two dogs, Blondie and Laszlo. Blondie is a four year old half-lab/half-whippet and Laszlo is a year old black lab. Below are the two of them in more calmer times when Laszlo was just 2 months old before he got a lot bigger.
