Join Me On the Network Junkies Discord
I’m building a community, Network Junkies, where anyone from beginners to experienced network engineers can get together to learn, speak, and ask any question (there are no stupid questions) in a safe space. Get to know others in the community and improve your skills. Join me on Discord today!
What I’m Working On
I did a live stream 7 days straight to discuss network engineering during this weird time. I’m doing this to challenge to myself in public speaking & to encourage myself to do more learning and labbing. I will continue to do a live stream regularly.
Recently passed the Cisco DevNet Associate and now I’m helping others learn so they can work towards automating and managing network devices more efficiently and obtain the DevNet Associate certification.
Starting in December 2020, I will be pursuing the Cisco CCNP ENCOR certification. Join me on my journey through labs and videos as I take on each topic. The primary goal is to improve upon routing knowledge and skills with Cisco routers. Who knows, maybe I’ll move onto CCIE!

From that content, I'll parse out specific information using XML elements and attributes. I found this useful for studying the Cisco DevNet Associate.

3 Valuable Lessons from Podcasting for 3 Years
I was co-hosting a Cisco Champions Radio episode with François Vergès and realized I’ve been producing a podcast for 3 years now. Never have I thought I’d be in my 3rd year. Back in August of 2015, I took on a new adventure and put myself out there with the Clear to Send podcast. The […]
All Good Things Come to Wi-Fi Trek
I’ve been fortunate to attend Wi-Fi Trek a couple of times. It’s hosted by CWNP and they’ve had an excellent line up of presenters. What was fun for me is presenting for the first time on the Road to CWNE. It’s great to see everyone come together from different industries with varying levels of experience. […]
