Being a teacher is not what I do, it’s who I am. Teaching suffuses my entire life. I have always enjoyed teaching and have taken whatever opportunities that presented themselves to allow me to teach to do so. I have taught not only technical courses (VMware, Microsoft, Sun) but “life” courses as well (ex. teaching adults how to swim).As a VMware instructor, my areas of focus are:VMware vSphere:VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage, VMware vSphere: Operate, Scale and Secure, VMware vSphere: Fast Track, VMware vSphere: Troubleshooting, VMware vSphere: DesignVMware vSAN:VMware vSAN: Install, Configure, Manage, VMware vSAN: Troubleshooting, VMware vSAN: Fast TrackVMware Tanzu:Kubernetes Fundamentals and Cluster Operations, VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy, Configure, Manage, VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage, VMware Tanzu Mission Control: Management and OperationsI also launched and developed a very successful VMware IT Academy program in North Central Texas.My mission statement is “The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” (William James). Teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.Outside of work I enjoy cooking, travel, spending time at the beach and teaching my grandson how to swim.
