NICK SHERMAN As Service Manager for Radical Support, Nick Sherman is responsible for all client service issues. Nick uses his IT knowledge, management skills and customer service talents to make to ensure service tickets are handled promptly and efficiently. This native of the Dayton, Ohio area joined Radical Support in November 2006 when he relocated to Alpharetta. His 20 year experience in IT includes exchange server, active directory and security. In his few off hours, Nick enjoys traveling, cooking and playing with his 3 dogs - 2 Shih-Tzu and a poodle that he rescued from an abusive home. Cheesecakes are Nick's specialty with exotic varieties such as White Chocolate Caramel and the Milky Way Cheesecake. While his menu includes over 50 varieties, the plain traditional cheesecake is his favorite flavor. What would Nick do if he won the lottery? He would surely pack his bags for a dream travel vacation to Spain.
If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be called Labor Day Weekend. -Doug Larson |

Sit Up Straight and
Keep Your Wrists
Ergonomics is not a four-letter word - even though many business owners may think otherwise. That's because when business people hear the word ergonomics, they immediately think of dollar signs - as in what it will cost to outfit employee workstations with new setups to prevent sometimes crippling injuries. But the money needed may be minimal, and your employees' health should be the overriding concern, says Dan Eisman, vice president of marketing and product development for HealthyComputing.com, an ergonomics consultant. Painless simple adjustments to a computing environment, such as getting a better chair or raising a monitor, may cost little but makes a huge difference in injuries and employee absences. Understanding how poor positioning combined with no breaks can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) should be a priority for anyone who works at a PC and/or employs others who do. (No, you don't have a federal law threatening you with liability anymore if you don't.) "Businesses very often don't have to spend $1,000 or more on equipment - or completely overhaul the workplace," Eisman says. "But if you have the knowledge, you can better know what to do and what to spend." Employers should learn about what triggers wrist pain and other repetitive-stress injuries, and spend time watching and training their employees, he says. Because people come in different shapes and sizes, solutions to ergonomic problems differ. However, there are some generally accepted guidelines when it comes to sitting at a computer for several hours a day, day after day. |

Sullivan has seen it all. A 25-year veteran of disaster recovery and
business continuity management, Sullivan witnessed the growth of
continuity planning among the Fortune 1000 in the 1980s. He watched,
first hand, the successes and failures of business continuity plans
following the events of September 11, 2001 and in 2005 throughout
the most active hurricane season in recorded history. Today,
Sullivan is helping small and medium-sized companies plan for and
recover after significant business interruptions.
For entrepreneurs, the
drive to be in control is the best of traits and also their
