Kevin Sowa

Kevin began his software deployment journey in 2015, imaging the old-school way: duplicating hard drives and copying thick images with Ghost.  When last-minute requests for program installs in a lab came along, he would be going to every machine to manually install.  He was then introduced to SCCM and changed the way classrooms and labs were imaged at Trinity College in Hartford, CT.  Now at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT, he doesn’t quite get 10,000 steps a day anymore as the Software Deployment Engineer, deploying hundreds of classroom programs on Mac and Windows with Jamf, SCCM, and Intune.
