About Me
I am a network and information security expert specializing in Microsoft technologies. An MCP, MCSE, and MCITP Enterprise Administrator, I have traveled around the world speaking to network engineers, security administrators, and IT professionals about Microsoft edge security and remote access solutions. A former information security engineer for a Fortune 100 financial services company in the U.S., I have nearly two decades experience working in large scale corporate computing environments. I have designed and deployed perimeter defense and secure remote access solutions for some of the largest companies in the world.
In October of 2012 I received my fourth consecutive Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Forefront Edge Security. I am currently a contract trainer for TrainSignal and a contributing author for TechGenix’ ISAServer.org and WindowsSecurity.com.
