I am part of a team of talented network engineers that supports a network of nearly 400 BMO Harris Bank branches along with multiple data centers and other back-office sites in the United States. We do everything from designing the LAN and WAN connectivity to new sites to troubleshooting issues with existing locations across the US. Each member of the team has a very diverse technical background and can support any of the technologies that we have deployed (switches, routers, firewalls, Infoblox, Cisco ACS for AAA, Solarwinds, etc.) I've been expanding my knowledge of VoIP by working with the VoIP gurus on our team.

Two things that I take pride in are my Visio drawings (I am a Visio ninja when it comes to documenting network designs) and my data center layout/installations.
