After learning the BASIC programming language and running DOS for many years, Windows 95 arrived. He became annoyed at his inability to make Windows systems do what he wanted to as easily as the systems he ran in the past. The only thing they seemed to do really well was crash. He studied Linux, and open-sourced software, which is renowned for its stability, speed and ease-of-customization, and its cost... FREE! Experiementing with this on his computers, he later built a router/firewall with a 56k modem running Linux, several years before the cable or DSL routers of today used the same software configurations. At this time Mr. Obert then partnered with a local TV repair shop to provide new and used computers, and PC repair service.

Having such strong hands-on experience, and personable traits has landed him many career opportunities around the country for many growing businesses. This has moved him to many different parts of the country, ranging from the big city, to small towns in the midwest. He has also coordinated with an overseas office of indian tech support representatives. Mr. Obert has no shortage of culture. He has worked with and maintained a datacenter of over 300 FreeBSD and Linux servers, with 42,000 customers, 100,000 domain names, and well over 1-million email addresses. All that while still providing answers to questions and repairing problems for the support office in India. His fast-paced action, efficiency and instant results got him noticed and he was quickly promoted and promptly displaced an office of 12 people. To facilitate this enormous task he wrote a web-based application and database to monitor and administrate these servers automatically. For that which was not fixed automatically could be emailed to him or his cell phone and could be fixed from his computer at home! This was the original vision that is now Webfoot Enterprises™... software solutions to make business easier.

FAQs

• Where are you from originally?
  
  

  New Jersey, Bergen County area to be exact. I still have my city accent, though some people say they can't tell the difference.

• You do so much, where did you learn this/go to school?
  
  

  I've taken some type of electronics or computers class since gradeschool. To compliment that, I read and comprehend instruction manuals to everything, even for items and devices I do not use or have myself. I can then inject these learned into other projects that may have a special need. (This is rather often and is found quite annoying to my scholar counterparts with *expensive* degrees that don't know how to use their knowledge.)

• Whats with the ducks?
  
  

  I have 4 ducks that run around the yard which I have raised them since they were small. They each have personalities of their own. Some psychologists say that you are closer to your pets than your own children or even your own mate, and I've grown quite attached to them and love them no less than anyone would love their dog or cat. People that know me closely often think of the ducks, and for that reason is why they are represented here and often appear in lots of things I do. If you are interested in raising a duck or a goose, visit the Pet Duck Association for more information.

• What else do you do?
  
  

  I love to cook, ride motorcycles, lift weights, and travel. I also take pride in working on my own automobiles and house. Anything that is another hands-on experience keeps me occupied in my free time.
