Technology Support Technician

Mike Jessen is not from the future, but no one could blame you for thinking so.

He enjoys international travel, LEGOs, and shiny new technology.  Computers are OK, too, he guesses.  When they work.  He spends his days making sure they DO work for the students, staff, and faculty at Emerson College.

He currently lives in a maze of computers; a fort if you will.  Oh, and he's from Denmark.
