Hey, I’m Dan! I started my career in IT support at Lakeland Union High School where I worked in the tech department as a student intern, and eventually as an IT Support Specialist. During my years at Lakeland I gained an extremely deep rooted understanding of software, hardware, networking, customer service, and just about any other IT skill you can fit into my swiss army knife of tech support experience. Later on I was put in charge of the school’s fleet of 1,000+ Chromebooks, teaching staff and students how to utilize G-Suite, as well as managing it from the backend. Following my time at Lakeland I worked a contract with Ascension Technologies, using my valuable knowledge of the G-Suite to help in their nationwide migration from Microsoft Office to G-Suite. Additionally I provided on-site support to many of the Ascension hospital locations in the northern region of the state prior to their purchase by Aspirus. Going into my ownership at Northwoods Nerds, I thoroughly enjoy being able to meet and befriend the residents and business owners of the Northwoods, providing the best services and support we can for the area.

Hey, I'm Neil! I started my career IT career at LUHS where I worked for about four years as a student intern at the tech department. It was there where I gained experience with hands-on troubleshooting software, hardware, and the fundamentals found in computer networks by helping other students and teachers with any technical issues that could pop-up throughout the year while also helping manage over 1,000+ laptops and desktops. Following this I went to school at UW-Stout to Major in Computer Networking and Information Technology and Minoring in Computer Science, Information Security Management, and Project Management and graduated in the Spring of 2022. During my senior year I was a Student Researcher working with a cross-disciplinary team working on a project that utilized a variety of cutting edge technologies that focused on ways to secure and implement an Industrial Internet of Things for Manufacturing 4.0.
