About

The primary purpose of this blog is a repository to store and share my technical experiences.  I can’t remember how many times I’ve come across a issue that I’ve addressed before but can’t remember just what or where the solution is hiding.  The end result of that dilemma is this blog.  I hope you can gain as much use out of it as I do.  From time to time I do reserve the right to express myself and my opinions about certain topics.

So just who am I?

In July of 1997, I received a Bachelor of Science in Business (B.S.) from the Ferris State University in Computer Information Systems.  Currently I am employed full time as a Senior Consultant for a EMC Consulting with over 12 years of experience in Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange, Office Communications Server, System Center Operations Manager and the Windows Server Operating System. Since 1997, I have been actively designing and supporting directory services, messaging migrations, real-time communications services, and advanced monitoring platforms. I also possess experiences successfully deploying Microsoft Unified Communications voice services built upon Exchange Unified Messaging and Office Communication Server.  Having worked both in-house and as a professional consultant, I have designed and implemented solutions ranging in scope from a few hundred to many thousands of users.  My core background is in IT system administration and operations support where in early 2004  I made the transition into a full time consulting role.  This core experience gives me a unique perspective and allows me to design and build a very stable, powerful and  easy to manage platform.

I would like to give a special thanks to Aaron Tiensivu and Elan Shudnow for encouraging me to start this blog.
