I've worked for a few years as a network engineer / sys admin for various companies in California ( Worldcom, California ISO, Grass Valley Group, Hewlett Packard ). I'm currently a sys admin at Addison Avenue Federal Credit Union (used to be the HP credit Union). I've also done consulting for several firms (Spherion corp., ESG Consulting, Sai Software Consuilting). I also have my own consulting company (California Networks: http://www.cal-networks.com )helping new and small/medium businesses to design and implement computer and network solutions.
