His past experience includes positions as a senior technical instructor, technician, consultant and mentor throughout the U.S. for companies such as ExecuTrain, Mastering Computers, Platinum Technology, Fujitsu, IBM, State Farm, Mindworks, and Thomson/NetG.

  • Cisco Certified Instructor (CCSI #32364)
