Ron, more than just FHK’s IT Guy (Google Apps Interview goes International)

Pretty much all the cool stuff you see on this site at FHK is the handiwork of Ron, who we like to affectionately refer to as “FHK’s IT Guy.” Ron has volunteered many, many hours to Ft. Hard Knox since we began in the Spring of 2007, and I am so thankful to him.

But what a lot of people may not realize is that when he’s not customizing our Revolution Theme, or finding a plug-in to help format our URL’s so that our links are unbreakable no matter how many updates I do – he has a real job. His paying clients know him as the “Affordable IT Guy,” which is the name of the business that he and his wife run, and they do “networking (including wiring if needed), computer management, troubleshooting, backup systems, power conditioning, and pretty much anything you need to keep your computers up and running and making your business life easier, not more difficult.”

Ron administers e-mail accounts for some of his clients through Google Apps, and found himself having to go to bat for those clients when there was a serious problem with Google Apps last week. He was interviewed by hereLinuxWorld at length about his experience with Google, and the interview was carried by International Data Group affiliates Computer World, CIO, MacWorld and others. This problem was also discussed in the New York Times, prior to the interview with Ron.

So there you go – Ron’s now famous. How much longer will he be able to grace us with his presence here at Ft. Hard Knox? Who knows? But we are certainly thankful for all that he is doing.
