Jeff Butts began tinkering with computers in the early 1980s and worked as an IT and networking consultant for 15 years before engaging in any “formal” training. Throughout his career, he worked with and supported nearly every commonly used operating system, including Windows, OS/2, Linux, and macOS. He eventually earned a Master of Information and Computing Systems and taught university English and computer science for several years before pivoting to professional writing. He’s written and edited for such outlets as The Mac Observer, How-To Geek, Hot Hardware, groovyPost, and geekRumor. When not writing, he bounces between 3D printing projects, fiddling with Raspberry Pi and the like, and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
