I really enjoy the way that computers can bring people together, move information quickly and empower learning. I come from three generations of teachers. My great-grandmother had a huge influence on me, having taught school for 50 years. As soon as I learn something new I want to find someone and tell them about it. I have been a teacher and a trainer off and on since high school, it’s my favorite way to help others. I began configuring hubs and routers in the early 1990's while a network technician for a Phoenix, Arizona telecommunications company and have been implementing, consulting and instructing on internetworking technology for over 12 years. My past employment includes positions as a senior technician, trainer, consultant and mentor throughout the U.S. for companies such as ExecuTrain, Mastering Computers, Platinum Technology, Fujitsu and Mindworks. My background includes both practical experience in the day-to-day operations of corporate IT departments as well as instructional and classroom training experience. This gives me a unique perspective for being able to use the equipment and software in a live environment and turn around to pass along that experience in the form of training that is easy to understand and thorough enough to cover real-world issues. Currently, I am a full-time author, consultant and instructor and look forward to producing more CBT Nuggets titles. |
