When I'm not making CBT Nuggets videos, you'll find me Taking pictures as a wire photographer for Southcreek Global Media or maxpreps.com/. I also love to shoot landscapes and nature, but can only get out there once or twice a year. See my work at www.HisEarthMyWorld.com/! Going to the movies my family loves movies!

Favorite Nugget: Certified Ethical Hacker v7 so much fun to make this video. Shows what hackers can really do and it's just a bit scary!

The best part about being a trainer is Seeing other people be successful. I know many of our viewers have been laid off, have college degrees but no job offers, are trying to change careers, or want to get promoted. I love to hear about people who have learned from the training and gotten jobs, certifications, or both! It's been a privilege to be part of people's career advancement and I do not take it lightly.

I'm passionate about IT training because I like to help people take concepts that are often difficult and teach it in an understandable way. It's frustrating to spend hours reading web articles, forums, white papers, and gigantic books only to still be frustrated that the information is not clear! So I hope to help people by saving them much of this time and frustration.
