Kenny Sallee’s Summary

I have progressivly extended my abilities in the Information Technology areana since my departure from the military in 1997. I began as a field engineer installing technology for Army installations, moved to a support role supporting the Army's WAN, decided I wanted to be a Consultant where I learned much about the sales and business side and obtained my CCIE, and finally moved to an enterprise company where I grew into a managment position I currently hold. During this time I remained CCIE certified and obtained my BS in IT Managment.

I'm dynamic, fast paced, like to learn, and do not like to be bored. I also believe in working hard and playing hard. Thanks for looking at my profile.
