Top SchoolCliff Hobbs is an ISTC-approved technical writer and long‑time systems management specialist with over 30 years’ experience documenting and consulting on Microsoft SCCM/ConfigMgr and Intune for global enterprises and vendors. A 15‑time Microsoft MVP (2004–2019) and founder of FAQShop.com, he translates complex enterprise deployments into clear, reusable documentation and runbooks used by clients such as Microsoft, HP, Unisys and Patch My PC.

Outside work he enjoys travelling with his family, a habit that mirrors his long history of global remote consulting.
