VMware vExpert. I'm a Solutions Architect for Lewan & Associates based in Denver Colorado. I am responsible for building our End-User Computing practice including attaining and maintaining our Citrix Platinum & VMware Premier partnership levels. I lead our Virtualization practice and engage frequently in architecting and executing multi-vendor solutions and professional services engagements to solve business problems for our customers. Additionally I assess new solutions in the virtualization ecosystem, define best practices, and have daily face-to-face conversations with our customers discussing business initiatives. Key partnerships include: Citrix,VMware, AppSense, Lakeside Software and Dell, Cisco, HP, NetApp. In my role I am a frequent speaker and spirited evangelist for virtualization technologies. My primary focus in the last few years has been increasingly on the End-User Computing space encompassing the hypervisor solutions, desktop virtualization delivery solutions, user environment management, and follow-me-data solutions. My thoughts are my own and not the regurgitation of vendor marketing. I take great pride in maintaining my independence and perspective. I'm fiercely passionate about what I do and I'm not apologetic for it.
