I am one of the most well-known VMware Certified Instructors, having obtained my VCP and VCI status back in 2006. I currently work as the Lead Instructor - VMware for Global Knowledge in the UK, and previously I ran the virtualization training team at another UK-based VMware Authorized Training Centre (VATC).

My first VCP and my first ever VMware course delivery, were on ESX 2.5 and VirtualCenter 1.3, and I've seen the products and technology grow and change enourmously since then. I started delivery of courses on VMware Infrastructure 3 as soon as they became available, and I've done the same in 2009 with vSphere 4. I also hold the VCP2, VCP3 and VCP4 certifications, and am making progress through the VCDX3 certification.

Back at the start of 2009, I launched my VMware Training and Certification blog, and since then have started my own VMware-related pages on Facebook, and also joined the world of Twitter too. I am the major contributor to the official Training & Certification VMware community forum. Refer to the Links page to see my various profiles.

I hold Mentor status as a VCI, which means I am trusted by VMware to decide whether others are up to the standard required to deliver official courses, only a limited number of VCIs hold this status. I am also an inaugral member of the VATC Technical Advisory Council, I am asked by VMware to help develop and review the official courseware.

Outside of work, I am a dedicated family man - I have two amazing boys that keep me busy!

I've spent the last 3-4 years talking to customers who are so used to "thinking physically" that they cannot truly see the benefits that virtualization brings - so I say to you all - Think Virtually!
