An IT veteran for over 23 years, I covered various roles throughout my career. Prior to joining Altaro as a blog writer and QA tester, I was employed as an infrastructure engineer at a cloud services provider working exclusively with VMware products. The Altaro VMware blog enables me to share the experience and knowledge gained and, much to my surprise, is what got me the vExpert 2017 award. Besides being a techie and a science buff, I like to travel and play guitars. I also do some photography and love having a go at playing the occasional XBOX game, Halo being my absolute favourite. I am also a proud father of two and parent to a crazy Dachshund called Larry.
