Featured Systems & Security Admin Student for March 2018
Tyler Wehner
Bio
My name is Tyler, I’ve been married to my wife, Jenna, for eight years. My favorite person in the world is my two-year-old son, Finley! I have a reputation for having a sense of humor (albeit a dry one). I enjoy running and nature. My favorite season is Spring, for so many reasons, and the start of Baseball season is certainly among them! Professionally, I have over ten years of Customer Service experience, and I am excited about making a new start in IT.
Q&A
Q: Why did you decide to come to Centriq?
A: Before enrolling at Centriq, I worked for an insurance company for six years. It was a good job, but it didn’t feel like I was making an impact at the end of the day. I have had many passions, but the one constant was always technology; so, after some encouragement from a recent graduate, I decided to take a huge step and engage with Centriq. So far, it’s looking like one of the best decisions I’ve made!
Q: What class has been your favorite so far?
A: My favorite class so far has been Cisco Networking; the first time I was able to get two hosts in separate networks to communicate was a big moment for me!
Q: What do you hope to do after Centriq?
A: At this point in my education the possibilities seem almost overwhelming! I can see myself pursuing a career in System Administration or Networking, but I’m convinced that Centriq’s instructors have the best jobs! Maybe with more education and experience I could find myself teaching in some capacity!
Q: What other hobbies and interests do you have?
A: I’ve always been interested in vintage, old and otherwise unique houses with character. My wife and I bought our first home, a 100-year-old Prairie Foursquare, four years ago, and I’ve enjoyed the small (and not-so-small) restoration projects that some homeowners would otherwise dread!
