UNIX Evangelist

I am a Systems Administrator with over 17 years of professional experience. I enjoy what I do, and want to do as much of it as I can. I tend to skew more towards supporting operating systems (mostly Solaris and Linux these days) and hardware (Oracle, Dell, and HP), but have been known to delve into virtualization (Amazon AWS, VMware, and Xen), web services (Apache HTTPD and Tomcat, Oracle Application Server, Glassfish, JBoss, and WebLogic), databases (Oracle and MySQL), scripting/programming (shell, Perl, Java, and C), and bunch of random vendor applications. I am a Sun Certified System Administrator, Red Hat Certified Engineer, and I make a mean gumbo.
