VMware Certified Professional 		Supporting theMission Through Innovation

I try to spend 50% of my time training and 50% of my time consulting. I believe students want to learn from soneone who has done it, not someone who has read about it.

Core Professional Strengths: Strong systems management background. Training, mentoring, and management of network administrators and programmers. Ability to run large data centers and recognize and overcome challenges to systems management. The construction of cohesive, world class MIS teams.

"One must be able to convey the complex concepts of UNIX, Networking, System Administration, etc... simultaneously to both the computer neophyte and the Systems Engineer without embarrassing the corporate executives." James D. Corder

As an Independent Executive IT Consultants I specialize in leading growing companies through the fast paced changes of the high technology world, while focusing on the creation of world class MIS teams. I am available under contract as an Interim Executive, for companies that require a change agent due to out of control growth, or the need to adapt to new technology.
