      First thing, I normally avoid home addresses. Too much info for a resume. I use my name, my professional email, and one phone number, that's all. Including your metro area is okay, but that's where I draw the line. Mine, for example, says "Dallas".

        MS SQL Server is always "SQL Server", don't drop the last part of the name.

          MySQL needs SQL capitalized.

            You have FreeBSD under Linux. We know what you mean, but BSD isn't Linux.

              Understood.

                Got it, I am changing it.

                  I would drop MS Office from your skills list. You are too senior to be listing that kind of stuff.

                    Unless you want to focus on those certs, I'd move them to the very end, around the Education section.

                      I don't, those are the only Certs I have right now. But I will move them.

                        Compress this a bit. Especially the video editing for the church. Listing it to have the dates is fine. But No need to talk about non-IT tasks.

                        I would not call it being on the construction crew when maintaining the company computers. This is confusing.

                        The spacing is messed up in this section as well.

                          At the highest level, this feels like it could be pretty easily compressed to two pages.
