The InterNetwork is a blog about my experiences consulting as a Network Engineer.  With this blog, I will be sharing my understanding of different technology, gotchas and caveats that I will inevitably encounter, and exciting new technology I find.  Most of my posts will be Cisco-centric as I do work for a Cisco Gold Partner and deploy their solutions, however working with companies from the smallest small businesses to enterprise corporations I am exposed to many different products from different vendors.

I started this blog after listening to an episode of PacketPushers where they talked about giving back to the IT community as a whole. Writing blogs and being active on message boards is how many problems get solved. I have used both blogs and answers in forums to solve many solutions over the years, so I felt it was time to give back, so The InterNetwork blog was born. I hope that you get something out my experiences and maybe help solve a problem you may have!
