Oklahoma City AITP is the professional association comprised of career minded individuals who seek to expand their potential -- employers, employees, managers, programmers, and many others. The organization seeks to provide avenues for all their members to be teachers as well as students and to make contacts with other members in the IT field, all in an effort to become more marketable in rapidly changing, technological careers. To learn more about the AITP browse through some of the links on this page.

John Weston, IT Pro Evangelist Windows 7 at Microsoft. Some may call John a geek. He prefers the term "technologist." Truth is, John began working with computer games before PCs even hit the scene and he's probably got a dusty prototype stashed somewhere to prove it. He's a fourth generation educator who loves to help people learn new technologies and relishes that magic moment when the light comes on in their eyes. Before joining Microsoft full time, he spent six years as an MCT, training people at a local college and getting new Microsoft hires up to speed. John holds more certifications than he can remember, but the list definitely includes MCSE, MCDBA, MCT, and CCNA. His favorite technology is SQL and he gets a special thrill from solving customers' problems. For John, there's nothing like coaxing people from panic to joy when a server goes down and he can help get the business back up on line. When he's not working, John can usually be found sailing around Texas with his kids.

Oklahoma City AITP generally meets on the third Tuesday of the month. Our members always encourage visitors to attend our meetings. Simply RSVP and join in the activity. Meeting fees include lunch or dinner and are collected at the meeting site unless specified otherwise.
