ABOUT MIKE REGAN
I\'m a logical problem solver with the ability to adapt to any environment. I am best in a situation when everything is broken and digging out the fix.I am an driven individual that has grown my way from a photographer into a Senior Systems Administrator. I\'ve gone from helpdesk, to sco unix administratrion, to database support, to informix 4ql to supporting out of bands, to supporting caching dns for an isp, to supporing linux environments to now virtualized infrastructure.I\'ve had an 17 year I.T. career and carry a vast wealth of knowledge. I continually enjoy every day and like the thrill of developing a better environment to work within. Automation is the key to making work more productive and agile allowing us to meet todays fast paced deadlines.I\'ve got to do many fun things from DNS symposiums with Paul Vixie, to help create vmWorld presentations to speaking at VMUG.I got my RHCE back in 2009, skills I still put use today with vmWare\'s vma appliance.
