A Microsoft Certified Trainer and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer since 1999,I have extensive training experience in NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 server products. In addition I have also been training SMS 2.0, 2003 and is on the beta programme for System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (aka SMS v4).

As well as this I have been teaching Mom 2000 and 2005 SP1 and participated in the Operations Manager 2007 beta programme. Currently I am one of the few people in the UK training on Office Communications Server 2007.

Before becoming a trainer I was a network manager for several companies and designed and implemented the rollout of their networks.

I've written several articles for Server Management Magazine on a range of topics and for Microsoft's (now defunct) FYI magazine on SMS. Also I have presented for Microsoft at TechNet events and for the IT forum road show.
