Stephen Rea [rev(at)askthemct.com]’s Summary

I have several years experience in corporate training, in addition to IT Consultation and full-time Senior Network Administration, implementing and maintaining Microsoft Windows Networks. In the past I have supported both Native and Mixed mode Windows Environments, VPN clients, remote offices, operating systems such as Windows 9x, Windows 2000, Windows XP and the Windows Server 2003 Family. At present I am teaching Microsoft Official Curriculum Courses helping others to obtain Microsoft Certifications and pursue careers in the Information Technology Profession while continuing my consulting services. This experience combined with several industry standard certifications such as the CompTIA Security+ Certification, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Certification, and the Microsoft Certified Trainer Certification I feel I am a fully qualified for the technical training and consulting environments.
