Hi, I’m Daniel Runnion, a passionate technologist and lifelong learner with a mission to inspire and empower others through technology. My journey into IT started in an unexpected place: as a diesel mechanic in the U.S. Army. For 13 years, I honed my problem-solving skills, led teams, and tackled complex challenges in high-pressure environments. When I transitioned out of the military, I decided to turn my passion for technology into a profession, channeling my determination and curiosity into the world of IT.

I thrive on hands-on experiences and have cultivated a personal home lab to stay sharp and innovative. My lab includes Cisco and Juniper switches, a UniFi setup, and a Dell PowerEdge R710 server running ESXi. I use this space to deploy virtual machines, experiment with new technologies, and refine my skills in network design, automation, and virtualization.

Beyond the technical world, I’m passionate about helping others succeed. Through my YouTube channel and personalized consultations, I support aspiring IT professionals by sharing practical knowledge, demystifying complex concepts, and offering actionable advice to jumpstart their careers. For small businesses, I bring tailored IT solutions that empower them to thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

Technology is more than a career for me—it’s a way to connect with people, solve problems, and make a meaningful impact. Whether it’s building a reliable network, automating a task, or guiding someone to their first IT job, I’m driven by the opportunity to make a difference.
