My name is Sean Carnahan and I am an Information Technology Professional in a small town in Arkansas. Yes – Small town Arkansas has IT needs too. I’ve spent most of my career working in Higher Education and have moved through just about every aspect of IT.
My most recent and most focused role has been in the data center space. I have built and redesigned numerous data center spaces for my university. I’ve designed and deployed server systems to meet needs of our users. I have been heavily involved in the design and implementation of our VMware environment including vSphere, Horizon, vSAN, and SRM. I’ve managed backups using Veeam. I’m responsible for the backend infrastructure that runs all the systems required for the university’s business – all the stuff nobody thinks about unless it’s broken. My writings here are inspired by things I’ve encountered throughout my career.
I am a Christian, but by no means am I a perfect Christian (hint: there is no such thing). It humbles me to admit that I haven’t always been the best example of a Christian, especially in my work life. I’ve been short tempered and I haven’t always treated people with the love and respect every human deserves, but these are things the Lord has been working out in my life over the years. My prayer is that some of the content here might move you to love others and stand up for what you believe in.
I’d love to chat if you have questions about what you find here. You can email me (sean@carnahan.me) or find me on Twitter (@scarnahan)
