About Me

About RichTechGuy

The name RichTechGuy comes from who I am.  My name is Richard, a.k.a. Rich and I have a lifelong passion for computers and technology.  I currently work as the manager of a Cisco focused technical team at a major IT, Computer & Technology distribution company and have worked in this industry since 2006.  During my time in the industry, I have built out, installed and deployed Cisco Data Center solutions including converged architecture solutions with Cisco’s partner manufacturers such as NetApp and IBM.  I hold a Cisco CCIE certification in Data Center along with 2 CCNA’s in Routing & Switching and Security, and a CCNP in Routing and Switching.

I started this blog for two reasons.  First, I have a passion for IT and technology that I want to share with you.  This covers the technology, understanding how to make systems work, or to provide my experience in the IT industry and what I see happening that I think is important and worth sharing. The second is as a study tool for myself.  As I work to maintain my certifications, it helps me to process and digest the information if I’m able to explain the process or technology.
