Armin Ghazi
Armin's unhealthy obsession with computers and technology began at an early age when, after endless begging, his parents came home with their first family computer, a hideous Packard Bell box running MS-DOS.
Today, in addition to setting up and managing office networks, Armin specializes in Apple products, personal technology, and email marketing services. He excels at finding creative and practical solutions to everyday problems, and prides himself on always knowing what 'just works'. He can also be found sharing his opinions and insights on the latest tech trends on Twitter, our blog, and our email newsletter.
Born and raised in Louisville, KY, Armin received his B.S. in Business Administration from Saint Louis University after spending two years at SLU's campus in Madrid, Spain, where he learned Spanish and that it's OK to take a nap in the middle of the day. He joined Sterling Technology Solutions in the fall of 2010.
Armin enjoys traveling, reading, playing soccer, and spending time with his wife, Sanaz, and their German Shepherd, Baron.
