Working for a VAR

I have not posted to this blog for a long time. There has been allot of good stuff going on in my life. My son Alexander was born in May. I have not had allot of time to do anything really. I started working for a value added reseller. I enjoy my work. I focus my sales on storage, security and networking products. I.m trying to gain as many certifications as possible to increase my knowledge and provide solutions to clients.

Right now I'm going for VMware sales professional. I enjoy learning, it keeps my brain going. I work with some people who dont have the drive to really learn the new technologies. They just want to make the sale. I understand that and am not putting them down. I'm different. I want to know what I'm selling and how it works. I want to see if I can make it better. It can be software that needs added functionallity or hardware that could run faster or cheaper.

In five years from now I want to be running my own business Phuture Networks full time. I'm looking to provide managed security solutions for clients. This can include remote and onsite penetration testing. Wireless assesments, web server hardening, OS hardeing and verification of firewall rulesets. Recommendations on intrusion detection systems and physical security.
