Jerry Bossard has spent more than 25 years in the trenches of IT — not just keeping systems running, but rebuilding, redesigning, and strengthening them when they fail.

He’s worked across multi-site enterprise environments managing Windows Server, VMware, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, SQL, Exchange, NetApp storage, and enterprise networking infrastructure.

Jerry has led datacenter builds from the ground up, redesigned WAN architectures to reduce cost and increase performance, implemented SAN-to-SAN replication strategies, and guided organizations through ransomware recovery.

When COVID hit, he architected and deployed a 250-user VDI environment in just weeks to keep business moving. He doesn’t just understand theory — he’s applied it under pressure.

Throughout his career, Jerry has served as a key technical advisor to executive leadership, helping shape IT strategy, vendor decisions, and infrastructure investments. He blends deep technical knowledge with business awareness, always thinking beyond the server rack to the impact on people and operations.

CompTIA Security+ certified and formerly Network+ and A+ certified, Jerry brings both foundational discipline and hard-earned real-world experience to his writing. His approach reflects how senior engineers actually think: calm, methodical, and focused on solving the right problem first.

When he’s not working on systems, Jerry is a licensed private pilot — a role that mirrors his approach to IT: preparation matters, discipline matters, and checklists save you when it counts.
