Bio

I’m an IT pro located in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina. I’ve spent my career supporting all flavors of Window operating systems from Windows 95 til today. I am proud to call myself a seasoned Active Directory Pro and PowerShell fanatic as well as a sysadmin who loves to solve problems in interesting ways. I have benefited so much from content and solutions provided by others over the years that I feel I am obligated to now give back to others who might be searching the web for solutions to problems they are facing. In the last eight months, I have created a blog that sees a decent amount of traffic, became the co-leader of the RTP PS user group, had a number of articles professionally published online. The highlight of my career has been to have contributed a chapter to the PowerShell Conference Book.

I am proud to say that I have started to make a presence for myself in the industry and have had the opportunity to share ideas with an amazing group of admins who share the same passion as I do for PowerShell. Last but not least, I serve as a mentor and teacher of PowerShell for my colleagues at work. I am nervous as hell to submitting this talk, but I believe that I can do it and willing to accept the risks and take that chance to put myself out there. It’s what I have been doing all of 2018 and it hasn’t let me down yet and I don’t expect this to be any different.
