My name is Christopher Church and I’ve worked in information technology for the last seventeen years.

My networking career started 1992 with Novell NetWare 3.x.  I obtained my Certified Netware Engineer (CNE) certification in 1994.  At the time I was working for an office equipment dealer and was fortunate enough to be put in charge of building their network consulting and services business unit.  It was a good company and over the years I gained extensive experience with a wide range of products and technologies including Cisco, VMWare, HP, Dell, Equallogic, EMC, and Sonicwall, to name a few.

Prior to my IT career, I worked for a small telco.  While it seemed like I spent most of my time digging trenches and splicing cable, I managed to learn the basics of telephony, how to troubleshoot, and the importance of planning and building a reliable infrastructure.  That experience has stuck with me to this day.

Fast forward to 2009.   I work for a Cisco partner as their Director of Professional Services.  We’re also a Dell and VMware partner, so I get the opportunity to work on a number of storage and virtualization projects as well.

This blog is a companion to my Cisco CCVP blog on WordPress.

In my career I’ve held engineer, team lead, supervisory, and management positions.  I enjoy being in front of the customer, helping them solve problems, and having a positive impact on their business.  My certifications include a CCVP, CCNA, MCSE, MCTS/Exchange 2007, VMware Technical Sales Professional (VTSP) and Security+.
