<p style="margin:0cm"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Adrian Schmidt was born in Bahia Blanca, Argentina, and he studied Electronic Engineering at the University of Buenos Aires, graduating with honours. Near the end of his studies, he started
working for the National Justice Department as the Head of Software Development to develop a system connecting multiple registries across Argentina via satellite connections. In spite of this project never being completed (because of the lack of support by
government authorities), it fostered his passion for communication technologies. After this, Adrian continued his career in Information Technology (IT) working as a public advocate in Argentina. Then, after working for some time as an entrepreneur in southern
Argentina, he became the IT director of River Plate Adventist University, located in the province of Entre Rios. In 2005, Adrian moved with his family to the Philippines, earning his MBA while working as IT director in a Higher Learning institution (AIIAS).
Adrian then moved to Canada in 2008, where he set down roots in Lacombe, AB, working as a Servers and Network Administrator at Burman University. Recently Adrian moved to Maryland to serve as Associate Director for the IT Department for the General Conference
of the SDA. His passions continue to be: networking and internet technologies, learning ways to improve and secure networks, and using his knowledge and expertise to create positive change in the world.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
