Kevin Quinn

Ever since I was young I have had a love for computers. Growing up as a kid, my dad always had a computer that I was able to play games on, among other things. This love for gaming and technology continued throughout my years in school.

Directly after graduating high school, I went straight into the military serving 3 years in the Air Force on Active Duty, and then 5 years in the Air Force Reserves where I did Human Resources work. During my time in the Air Force Reserves I was deployed to Jordan in the Middle East for six months. It was a valuable experience, and it was fun to get to see another country.

After returning home, I enrolled at Pittsburgh Technical Institute (PTI) with a focus in Network Administration. When I graduated, I worked for a database company as an intern for six months. After that, I worked in internal IT for 2 years before deciding to come work for PCS.

In my spare time, I love playing video games, watching sports, and hanging out with friends.

I have done customer service work for such a long time that I am passionate about helping each individual to the best of my ability, especially when it comes to technology in general.
