About me

My name is Jack Thiess. I am a 17-year-old Senior at Memorial High School pursuing a career in IT. For years I have loved learning about technology and found that IT is my passion.

Even as a kid, I have had an interest in computers. I always wanted to play video games, but to do that I needed to learn how to use a computer. This was often how I learned as a kid: I had a goal and learned how to achieve that goal. This sparked a curiosity in me, that has led me to want to learn.

I have always been helping others with their problems. I enjoy improving other people’s days by solving issues. And while when I was a kid, I usually ended up breaking things instead of fixing them, I now have the knowledge and passion to help others.
