I have obtained certificates in Network+, A+, Server+, Security+, ITIL v3 Foundations, CCENT, CCNA, and CASP (CompTIA
Advanced Security Practitioner. I have received a Bachelor’s Degree in Science (BS) for Computer Information Systems
(CIS) with Networking Emphasis. I have installed, configured, tested, maintained and implemented changes to current
networking infrastructure, both logically and physically. Networking tasks completed include: Upgrading IOS and
firmware on Cisco switches. Setting up Port Groups and pathing from storage to host in SAN environments utilizing Cisco
Fabric Manager. This includes VSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network) port mapping. I have worked with many aspects of
the Cisco environment such as VLANS (Virtual Local Area Networks), Access Control Lists (ACLs), STP (Spanning Tree
Protocol), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and TACACS authentication. I have experience with VMware virtual
environments and virtual machines. Including, Esxi hosts. I have experience in technical writing such as continuity
books and diagrams for multiple sites. I have performed the above on time truncated schedules to meet unexpected
deadlines. I have experiences in working with Active Directory, including security groups and other OU (organizational
unit) functions, as well as other windows based programs. Also, I have experience scanning and mitigated information
systems for IA vulnerabilities (IAVA and Technical Bulletins); I have recently completed the federal HBSS (Host Based
Security System) training. I am involved with the implementation of new systems and networking infrastructure. I
deployed, operated and maintained a satellite communications system for the United States Army, Where, on multiple
occasions throughout the year, deployed a communications system to support the United States Army Military
Intelligence Command. I have deployed intelligence systems to support several of the largest military exercises. I have
assisted in fielding new Military Communications Systems. I have five years experience in Server Administration and
troubleshooting, as well as, Hardware diagnostics and replacement. I assist in supporting several sites for issues
involving Military Intelligence Visualization systems. I have multiple years of networking experience to include routing
and switching of LAN and WAN systems. Prior to the above mentioned, I have supported various Marine units with small
computer systems and basic networking support as a Marine for 4 years.
