About the Author
My name is Paul Geise, and I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, Michigan. I grew up in a working-class family, and my parents instilled in me the values of hard work, perseverance, and determination from a young age. These values would serve me well throughout my life. As a child, I struggled in school and was labeled as learning disabled.
I was told that pursuing a career that required academic excellence was out of the question for me. But I refused to accept this and was determined to prove everyone wrong. I started to observe other students who were challenged academically and excelled then copied what they did. I found ways to work around my learning disability and develop my strengths.
Through hard work and dedication and taking on challenges one at a time, I was able to graduate from college and pursue a career that I am passionate about. My professional journey has been diverse, and I’ve held various roles in different industries. I started my career in retail, where I learned the importance of customer service and how to manage a team effectively. From there, I moved into the automotive industry, where I gained valuable experience in project management and system administration. But my true passion lies in technology, and I eventually found my way into the IT industry. I started as a support technician and worked my way up to become a Senior System Administrator.
Today, I work as a consultant, helping businesses implement and manage their IT infrastructure. Throughout my career, I’ve faced many challenges and setbacks, but I’ve always remained determined and focused on my goals. I believe that hard work and perseverance are the keys to success, and I’ve tried to embody these values in all aspects of my life.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing guitar, and staying active through running and cycling. I’m also an avid reader and enjoy learning about new topics and ideas. Looking back on my life, I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and the person I’ve become. I’ve learned that anything is possible with hard work and dedication, and I hope that my story can serve as an inspiration to others who may be facing their own challenges and struggles.
