Network & Firewall Guru

I'm a network and security engineer with over 30 years of experience in LAN/WAN network design, implementation, and maintenance. I hold a Cisco CCNP in route and switch, a CCDP for network design, and a PCNSE for Palo Alto Networks. In terms of gear, I've worked with just about everything out there. For Cisco, I worked with everything from the smallest to the largest of Cisco routers, Cisco Nexus switches, and Catalyst switches, including data center Cisco Nexus 7k and 9k switches. I've also worked extensively with the ASA and Palo Alto firewalls, writing and editing security rules, configuring remote access and site-to-site VPNs, etc. Extensive layer 2 (MST, PVST, RPVST, etc) and layer 3 routing (static, RIPv2, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP). On top of the network engineering and network security specializations, I also have extensive knowledge of VMWare, VoIP systems (FreePBX, 3CX, CUCM, etc), SIP communication, and even 3D printing. I pride myself on my dependability and ability to work well with others. I'm well versed in remote work and look forward to working with you.

"Chris was a pleasure to deal with. He was very prompt, amazingly professional and looked for solutions outside of the box. Everything you could hope for in a consultant. I would strong encourage anyone needing assistance for work in the network administration field, to put him at the top of your list."
