Professionally, I have been in and around the data communications business since I left the US Army in 1989. I worked my way through Tech Support roles to Pre-Sales Systems Engineer to Sales, Marketing and Business Development roles.

During my time at Cisco, I became a local Subject Matter Expert for new hire sales, Partner Sales and Systems Engineers in the field of IP Telephony. At the time, IP Telephony was very much "bleeding edge" technology. I found it "real cool", the ability to take advantage of "Toll Bypass", "Tail-End Hop Off" and other new capabilities offered by the technology.

Fast forward to present day and I am still in IP Telephony; however, the changing landscape has seen me build a focus on Advance Technologies around SIP, IMS, overall convergence and presence awareness capabilities these that ride on the core of IP Telephony. These areas are where my current focus lies.

I welcome communication with anyone interested in these technology sectors.
