Resume of Experienced IT/Security Practitioner

Dear Hiring Managers,

Greetings.

If you want a real, natural talent, and not just another "boot camp commando", then I am the security talent you need.

You will find that I apply a strong desire to master underlying truths, and not to just follow security procedures like a cake recipe.

Like my peers that value professionalism and skill, I possess the following core traits:
+ Unrestrained thirst for knowledge
+ Multi-faceted, systems thinking
+ Willingness to conquer "impossible" tasks

In summary, my career path has encompassed:
+ 14 years technical experience in computers and electronics
+ 8 years Unix administration
+ 5 years security administration
+ Multiple certifications (CISSP, CCNA, MCSE, CNA, HP-UX Admin, CompTia
Network+, CompTia i-NET+)
+ Currently seeking a Masters degree in Information Security

If you think I might fit some current or future opportunities, please write me back or call me at 407-625-5893.

Thank you.
