Bill Slater

Senior System Administrator

"A computer's attention span is only as long as its power cord."

Bill was working on computers back in the 1980’s. His weapon of choice? The Commodore 64. Compared to the computers and smartphones he expertly tackles now, that thing was old! But we don’t make fun of him for it, because the kind of knowledge you can gain growing up with the technology field itself is invaluable. And it also helps that he’s a highly-trained US Army veteran that no one would dare cross. Half Rambo, half Steve Jobs, it really makes for an interesting combination and keeps our programmers on their toes.

In between the Army and Oneupweb, Bill spent 17 years leading IT teams and providing support for some of the nation’s most recognizable companies (General Motors ring a bell?). And somewhere in the midst of it all he found time to become a Microsoft Certified Professional, a Certified Novell Administrator and a plethora of other titles that are too long and techie-sounding to list here. Just trust us when we say Bill knows computers like the back of his hand.

So what does he do in his free time? When he’s not hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing/kayaking or camping in all four seasons, he’s a 4-H Outdoor Adventure Challenge Leader, of course.
