LANL
Started off in Networking in the 90's working for a couple different small ISP's. Went on to work as a Network Engineer for Bosch for 6 years. Decided I didn't want to move to Chicago and got a job with the NNSA in Albuquerque. Went on as a sales engineer for Cisco products selling and supporting Sandia. Eventually made it to Los Alamos National Laboratories where I work now for the main contractor to the lab. I started working with Solarwinds in 2003 and have been a Solarwinds MVP for about 10 years now. On my spare time I love to ride my motorcycle, hike and do things with dogs - most recently a lot of fostering mostly with Espanola Humane.
