I have more than ten years experience working with Microsoft ISA Server and its predecessors. I am currently a Senior Sales Engineer and Product Specialist for Celestix Networks, specializing in edge security solutions such as the Celestix MSA security appliance as well as Websense content filtering.
I live and work in Southern California, and I very much enjoy solving complex technical problems. Although I have been involved in enterprise computing for many years, it is actually my second career. Prior to getting involved in Information Technology I was an automotive service technician specializing in automatic transmission repair, as well as electronic engine and powertrain control systems.
My certifications include Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional – Enterprise Administrator (MCITP:EA), and Websense Certified Engineer – Web Security (WCE-WS).
I have also been awarded the very prestigious Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for my work with Microsoft ISA Server and Forefront Threat Management Gateway.
