After working in Technology-related
occupations for nearly 11 years, I
began training fellow employees and
became a Technical Trainer. After
three years of training on the
Microsoft product line, I became
exposed to the SAIR GNU/Linux
certification in March of 2000.
While I had been working (with
limited exposure) with various
distributions of Linux for over two
years, I became immediately hooked
on training these new Linux courses.
I have trained many fellow trainers
and students in SAIR courses in the
year since I was exposed to it.
Since becoming certified to teach my
first SAIR course, I have taught
boot camps at Linux World 2000, and
2001 in San Jose , New York , and
San Francisco ; trainer "t-preps" in
Pennsylvania and London , England ,
Singapore , and the Netherlands ; I
have taught many local students as
well. In addition to SAIR training,
I also maintain my Microsoft
training as well as CompTIA
training. During my career I have
worked for Newstar ( Madison , WI ),
Technical Support Analyst; Wausau
Financial Systems ( Wausau , WI ),
Technical Support Specialist; NBC
