What I'm looking for

I seek a stable remote position that allows me to utilize my diverse skills.

My name is Russell Duane Bonham II, and I have a diverse background in technology and music. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including as a Bench and Certified Dell Technician, where I specialized in troubleshooting and repairing PCs and laptops. My experience also extends to being a Service Technician and Network Specialist, where I managed hardware and software support for various systems, including POS software and networking solutions.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have a passion for music, which has led me to work as a music teacher and touring musician. Despite facing personal challenges, including mobility issues and health concerns, I remain dedicated to my career goals. I am looking for a stable, remote position that allows me to leverage my skills while contributing positively to a team.
