provide top notch Network and IT Consultancy services to individuals and businesses all over
the region. While running his independent IT services, Greg has been gathering valuable
industry exposure and experience on the side all along.
He started his career with Computer Support Network based inHuntington Beachbetween 1993
and 1994, where he assumed the role of General Manager, and was responsible for hardware

technical and cost considerations for service proposals, and sourcing the hardware and
software vendors for the company as well. Greg also got a jump start on his leadership and
management skills looking after a large team of technicians from diverse socio-economic and
cultural backgrounds while at Computer Support Network. He managed daily company
operations and client accounts, and built a reputation of providing consistent customer
satisfaction and systems performance for the IT firm.
After a year, Greg moved on to join Mallinckrodt Medical at itsIrvineoffice, and stayed there till
1999 as a Network Administrator. While there, he operated as the sole on site IT support
technician for a network with 400 odd users. This entailed the management of all aspects of
network implementation – including planning, designing, testing, documentation, deployment,
and maintenance of Novell and Windows based network systems. He was also responsible for
developing training and support plans for the entire 400 user network. His biggest achievement

industry pedigree to an entirely different level by taking charge of the installation and
