I have nearly 30 years of experience in the computer field. I have an AAS in Linux Networking Administration from Mesa Community College and I am also a Cisco Certified Network Associate and I plan on becoming a Red Hat Certified Engineer. I have extensive experience with Microsoft products as well. Professionally as well as for my own pleasure I stay current on new hardware and software technologies, legal issues that effect the industry, and news and reviews dealing with the companies who provide products to the greater technology market.I have been passionate about technology for most of my life, and have been eager to share my enthusiasm with others. While in the Navy I was responsible for the computer suite on the Aegis Weapon System. I trained many people, from officers to new recruits on the configuration and use of this system. At both Intel and OneNeck, I trained new hires and generated documentation and training materials. Throughout my time at Mesa Community College, instructors called upon me to assist other students, and I held a position as a teaching assistant for the Introduction to Engineering course at ASU.Specialties: active directory, aix, apache webserver, as/400, bash, bind, business consulting, c, c++, ccna, cisco routers, digital unix, documentation, hpux, hp openview, java, linux, linux administration, microsoft access, exchange 2000/2003, microsoft office, windows 2000, windows server 2003, windows xp, mysql, network security, networking, openvms, perl, postgresql, red hat, shell scripting, sun microsystems, switches, sybase, system administration, ubuntu, unix, veritas netbackup, voip, vpn
