23 years of experience designing and managing computer networks, and consulting for and training industry leaders, coupled with in-depth knowledge of the latest technologies in communications, networking, and operating systems, puts me in a unique position.

As an internationally recognized seminar leader, I have trained over 40,000 students on 4 continents.  Along with a reputation for delivering exceptional training, I have earned an equally impressive reputation for excellence in consulting.

To demonstrate my versatility and broad knowledge of industry technologies, I hold several certifications including MCT, MCITP, MCTS, MCPD, MCSD, MCAD, MCDBA, MCSE, CCNA and A+.  I am equally comfortable consulting and training on Microsoft and Cisco products, and extremely knowledgeable on network security, network design and implementation, application development, programming languages, and client-server technologies.

I am highly regarded for my practical “how to” approach, and my ability to communicate with clients and students to make learning and understanding a pleasurable experience.  I draw on an innate ability to reduce complex leading-edge technologies into easily understandable concepts and relate them in a framework that is always easy to remember.

I use corny acronym’s and silly stories with reckless abandon, which my customers rave about – as it allows them to remember technical concepts, and gives them a framework to relate all the technical mumbo-jumbo to.  I consistently receive outstanding reviews, frequently seeing comments along the lines of: “incredible consultant – went right to the heart of the problem” or “best seminar I have ever attended!”  If you truly need an outstanding consultant, presenter, lecturer or speaker, look no further.

My combination of technical knowledge and practical hands-on industry experience, along with my unique and tenacious approach to problem solving, makes me an outstanding consultant.  I know how to find out exactly what the customer wants, educate them enough on the available technology to verify my findings, and then implement an appropriate solution. 

Having worked with some of the largest telecommunications providers in the world, I have been fortunate enough to consult in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and of course, the USA.  Large customers have included Lucent, AT&T, Nynex, Bell South, Pacific Bell, Ameritech, Essar Communications, American Express, Vons, Northern Telecom, Optus, Telstra, Telecom, IBM, Sky City Casino, OzEmail, Pacific Internet, and ICONZ.

Consulting and training have gone hand-in-hand during my career, both feeding each other.  What I learn in the classroom is applied to the field when I consult, and the lessons I learn from consulting make their way back into the classroom as shared experiences.  I am an exceptional trainer because I am first and foremost an exceptional consultant.
