A bit about yourself & your work My name is Andrew and I started in IT in 1997 at $5.50 per hour installing cable, patch panels, wiring, managing web, DNS and Internet services for a small IT integrator. We grew rapidly and I became a senior network engineering manager within 3 or 4 years, acquired multiple NetWare CNE's and was 1 of 2 non-owner senior managing network engineers, they are still quite strong and doing well today. I've been running an owner operated very small pseudo MSP operation since 2007. In essence I try to merge adapt and supply Enterprise and custom solutions/technology/standards to SMB's of all sizes as best I can and as budgets allow. As well I've been building and managing Enterprise and custom server/network/storage/backup/business continuity and firewall solutions. Security is now a primary focus and I am very happy and excited to reconnect as a new partner with Cisco/Meraki and to move forward with Cisco/Meraki at our core. Anyone know the engineer’s holy cow it worked dance? J Technology has evolved but the dance stays the same! Your experience with Cisco Meraki I am new to Meraki but I was fortunate enough to participate in the Cisco Network Academy in I believe 1999 or 2000. CCNA was just 1 test back then which I didn't bother to take for some reason, how things have grown lol. While I won't be doing the academy again I will be gaining multiple CCNP certifications over the next 2 years as well other security specific certifications and hopefully be able to achieve CCIE at some point. Most of my Cisco experience was with PIX then ASA firewalls and a few switches here and there but not much in the last 10 years. A fun fact about yourself I love learning pretty much anything and I really love being able to use or share that knowledge to help people and businesses achieve and succeed in positive or desired outcomes. As above so below, we can only succeed when what we provide to those we serve or support also allows them to succeed. Andrew
