As covered recently in Louisville Business First, ABS has its eyes set on a new and exciting development in the Clifton neighborhood. The plans for the estimated $3M project would be a huge step forward in terms of growing the ABS team, and continuing a mission of proving top-notch quality service for customers…
When NetShape Technologies (https://www.netshapetech.com/), a global manufacturer and metal components supplier with sites located in North America, Asia and Europe, needed to move their data center, they came to ABS for help. The complex project involved relocating their hardware from Louisville to Chicago as well as implementing and configuring a new Storage Area Network (SAN)—and a smooth transition was crucial to NetShape’s operations.
There has been a recent discovery of a security problem with a portion of Intel’s firmware. The
issue allows hackers to forgo authentication to receive access to the management side of the PC.
This is a real threat because the bug allows attackers to gain full administrative access and view
private data, which can then be exposed to the public.

I’ve been with ABS for many years — I started out as a field tech (way back when ABS was just starting and located in Mark’s garage!) and have worked my way up. The thing I most enjoy about my job is helping our clients and mentoring the younger techs. My biggest strength is my experience. I will say that I love my job and I can’t see myself working anywhere else.

Compare me to a sea captain.
As captain of the ship, I am fully confident in my crew’s ability to navigate even the diciest waters.
I feel so fortunate to have the life that I do. I love my job on many levels: it gives me a challenging daily focus, provides me with social interaction, and feeds my family. I was raised in California and graduated from UCLA.
When I am not working, I like to exercise and have run over 35,000 miles in my lifetime. I also enjoy traveling. My favorite destination is anything with a sandy beach or Las Vegas during the first weekend of the basketball tournament. I am an avid college basketball fan. Since I wasn’t raised here in Louisville, I can root for Louisville, Kentucky, or Indiana – but my favorite is the Cardinals.
