So today I got a nice email: So now I can start using the VMUG NSX training and I’m stoked! – going to get deep into the books now and study even harder. Want to take exam in two weeks now that I got some ICM love and official training on-top of the Synex book I’ve read over and the labbing in the home-lab. This is just more icing on the cake! Lets get this party started! Check back soon in a few weeks to see this:
Updated: 2/8/17 So over the weekend I was labbing as per normal and I’ve been running into contention issues with my network and I think my tested and true Cisco 3750G’s are finally meeting their makers.

I got the VMware vExper 2015 award for being an active member of the VMware community. Looking forward to offer whatever I can to people that have questions as always with a helpful and kind personality.
