About Me

I am certified Microsoft professional, a Microsoft MVP and an IT veteran with almost 20 years of experience, much of it spent as an IT consultant specializing in Windows server technologies. I work today as an independent author, trainer and consultant. I've co-authored or authored several books, courseware, and training videos on administrative scripting and automation. My latest book is Managing Active Directory with Windows PowerShel: TFM 2nd Ed.(SAPIEN Press 2011).
