Long time virtualization architect with years of VMware and Citrix implementations. Years as well of presentation and evangelism on subjects ranging from Cloud, DR and VDI to Big Data and enterprise application virtualization.

Huge advocate of Open Storage, working at Nexenta as an SE covering the entire midsection of the country and the western half of Canada.

My years in Virtualization, Storage, and consulting, coupled with many years on the customer side of the equation give me insight to the requirements of many tiers of customers. I'm able to help them to reconcile themselves to determining an ideal storage environment for their needs, whether they're bonded in Virtualization, or the physical world. We have solutions dedicated to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, Backup and Recovery, and replication, as well as highly available storage environments. It is with these robust solution sets, and an element of consciousness towards the ever increasing markup that we've created our model. We've capitalized on an amazing user interface based on Open Solaris, and Open ZFS for the storage side which makes for a complete end-to-end modern architecture with performance that surpasses our competitors, at very appealing pricing.

In addition, I'm the Communications Director for the vCommunity Trust, a 503C set up to raise awareness, and build training for people who cannot afford it. This is training particularly around the Virtualization world, most notably VMware Virtualization.
