“I’ll sleep when I’m dead…”

Colin’s Cisco® mojo and skill with all manifestations of the Windows operating system approaches deity status. His love-hate relationship with Linux is the stuff of campfire legend. Whether building the network, locking it down or testing it’s security, he is at home in the realm of 1’s and 0’s.

Colin also designs and deploys networks for small and medium-sized businesses and provides consulting services to private businesses, city governments and, larger internationally distributed organizations. He has also led the deployment of single & multi-site Cisco®-based inter-networks and has designed, planned and deployed new Windows 2000 & 2003 Active Directory-based networks as well as several upgrades from NT4 to Windows 2000/2003, as well as Exchange 2000 and
Exchange 2003.

Seldom out of arm’s reach of a computer, you will usually find Colin adorned in Birkenstocks, shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, even when it’s below 30 outside. From all accounts he appears to be impervious to cold but performs poorly in times of high heat and humidity. He speaks little when outside the classroom and may seem to be a mute unless networking comes up as a topic of conversation. If you want to talk computers, you will find him as chatty as an 8-year old on Christmas eve who has had too much Pepsi and forgot to take his Ritalin.

Educated: Virginia Tech, Bachelor of Science

What his education proves: Two things.

1. He can stick with something for at least four years.
2. He can come up with the money for said “sticking”.

Professional Certifications:

• CISSP® – Certified Information Systems Security Professional
• CEH™ – Certified Ethical Hacker
• CCNP® – Cisco® Certified Network Professional
• CCSP™ – Cisco® Certified Security Professional
• MCSE – Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer
• A bunch others that aren’t worth mentioning...

Colin has taken his CCIE written exam (the easy part) but is, at present, being a slacker on preparing for the lab (the hard part). So, no, he is NOT a CCIE.

What his professional certifications prove:

Two things.

1. He has spent a LOT of money on tests.
2. In addition to being a teacher, he is a professional student. He calls himself a “student of the game”.
   

Favorite Quotes –

Two, from Carl Sagan:

• “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
• "We are like the inhabitants of an isolated valley in New Guinea who communicate with societies in neighboring valleys (quite different societies, I might add) by runner and by drum. When asked how a very advanced society will communicate, they might guess by an extremely rapid runner or by an improbably large drum. They might not guess a technology beyond their kin. And yet, all the while, a vast international cable and radio traffic passes over them, around them, and through them..."
