Hello! I’m Dustin

I’m an IT professional with a passion for technology and its transformative power. I live in Syracuse, NY with my incredible wife. Our journey together has been filled with love, mutual support, and academic pursuits.

My Journey

Born and raised in Cato, I graduated high school in 2010 and embarked on an academic journey at RIT. Living on campus, I made lifelong friends and memories. My path then took me to Red Creek, balancing work with my studies at ITT-Tech, laying the foundation for my IT career.

After graduating, I moved to Central Square and worked at Walmart. It was here, in 2014, I met my wife. Our shared path has led us through various cities in New York, and we got married in 2020, marking a significant milestone in our adventure together. After settling in Fayetteville in 2023, we moved back to Syracuse in 2024. We returned to familiar grounds as we continue to build our life together.

Supporting Each Other

Throughout our relationship, I’ve been proudly supporting my wife through her academic endeavors. She earned her Associate’s degree from CCC as a commuter while we lived together, followed by her Bachelor’s at SUNY Geneseo, where she lived on campus and I was in Liverpool, NY. Her Master’s from St. Bonaventure was completed online while we were together. She was pursuing her PhD at UARK but recently stepped away from the program due to incompatibility.

Professional Journey

In my professional life, I’ve navigated various roles in IT. Starting at Delta Sonic, I moved on to the New York State Office of Information Technology Services, and later thrived as a Desktop Support Specialist at VSO (Virtual Service Operations). After working at Greene Resources as an Infrastructure Support Specialist, I have now joined Waygate Technologies in Skaneateles as an End User Support Engineer. Each role has contributed to my expertise in the field.

Educational Background

I’m a proud alum of Cato-Meridian High School and ITT-Technical Institute, where I earned my AAS in Computer & Network Systems Administration. These experiences have been instrumental in shaping my professional knowledge and skills.

Skills and Expertise

Over the years, I’ve developed a rich skill set, including expertise in Microsoft Office Suite, Outlook, Mac OS, Linux, SiteWatch, Radiant, and a comprehensive understanding of IT infrastructure services, security, and protocols. My strengths include analytical thinking, diagnostic skills, and problem-solving abilities.

Life Beyond Work

Outside of work, my life revolves around my family. My wife and I cherish our time together in Syracuse. Our story, from our first meeting to supporting each other through various life chapters, is a testament to our shared commitment and love.
