>> Every time I start any type of training,
I find myself asking, who is this person
>> and how do I know if I can trust them?
>> Well, ultimately, my hope is
>> that as you work through this course,
>> you'll learn to trust me,
and you'll find real-world value
in what I'm sharing with you.
But I thought I'd give you
a quick overview of my qualifications,
just in case you have
>> the same type of healthy skepticism that I have.
>> Okay, so you can read the screen.
I don't want to spend a lot of time going into details
>> about my education and certifications.
>> But this slide gives you the idea.
I have a graduate degree in cybersecurity.
I'm a CISSP and a CEH.
Also, I have a certificate in private investigations.
In my state, Texas,
being licensed in private investigations
>> is required to perform legal digital forensics.
>> How do you sum up 23 years
>> of IT experience in one slide?
>> My career has been very good to me and my family,
and I'm an instructor at Cybrary
to give back in whatever way I can.
I've worked in small businesses and large corporations.
I've rewritten code through Y2K
>> and designed and built data centers.
>> I've worked hard for 15 years
>> to build a successful business, then sold it.
>> Most importantly, I've led and
developed technical staff and leaders.
There are two things that give me professional joy,
>> one, helping people discover their talents
>> and use them to have fulfilled lives,
>> and two, leading and directing teams
>> that are purpose-driven and results-oriented.
>> Okay, I need to add one thing, I love tech.
No matter what role I've been in,
I've always had a hands-on attitude.
It has truly helped me appreciate our industry
>> and the people who serve in it.
>> This was a quick lesson.
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself.
I've shared with you my education,
certifications, and relevant experience.
Again, thanks so much for giving me
and this course on NMAP an opportunity.
I hope you'll be pleased you did.
