2012 off to a great start!
Looking back over the past four months I can say 2012 has been one of the best years for me both professionally and personally.

After completing the prerequisite exams I submitted a Virtual Infrastructure 3.5 design that I designed and implemented at the company I was working for before going back to consulting.
