Self taught IT Junkie. Jack-of-all-trades, always working to master them all!

Specialities at the moment include VMware, NetApp, EMC, Microsoft (Exchange, AD, SQL, etc. etc), Networking. I still dabble in web development and scripting (PHP, PowerShell and BASH mostly), so can script myself out of most situations if needed. I have earned a few certifications over the years, NCDA, NCIE (SAN, BR, Security), VCP (2,3,4), VTSP (3,4), VCAP4-DCA (number 51), VCAP4-DCD (number 47) and finally VCDX (v3 & v4 - number 47).

I love meeting people, and hearing new ideas. Through all aspects I have always been able to convey complex ideas in fairly simple terms. I'm not a Sales person, so if there is a technical limitation, I won't hide it or gloss over it. However I can make almost any solution work, it's usually not the technology that is the limiting factor.

I'm starting to invest time in improving our implementation strategy and the options of private and hybrid cloud architectures for our customers.
