Tim Schutt
Syracuse University
Computer Consultant
Syracuse, NY
Almost from birth, Tim had an affinity for keyboards. But in the different America of Tims youth, there was only the kind with 88 black and white keys. So he dutifully practiced his Chopin and planned for a career teaching 8th graders music they would never appreciate. Then one day he discovered a keyboard where shortcuts paid off instead of getting him laughed off the stageand he said goodbye to powdered wigs and hello to the Macintosh Plus.
Today, Tim hangs his hat at Syracuse University where he leads the Mac Enterprise Tech Team. Most days he finds himself stealing snippets of code off StackExchange, arguing with installation packages, and posting stupid jokes on Twitter.
And every once in a while he sneaks back to that original keyboard.
