SUMMARY:

I have worked as a system admin on SQL, Exchange and general Windows server admin and at one point supervised a networking team designing, installing, and managing a WAN for a national company with installations in most of the truck stops nationwide. I started working with MOM in 2000 while working for Freightliner. After upgrading their system to Operations Manager 2005 I was offered a job with Confidential supporting upgrades to their installations. I have specialize in working contract positions designing, installing, administering all version of the versions of SCOM that have been released to date. In 2009 I was contracted to a small company on the east coast to write an Manage Pack for the IBM AS400, since then I have written hundreds of Management packs for all different types of applications, including SNMP for network devices, Unix/Linux, and Confidential windows.
