Adminize yourself!

I was just informed that my session had the best evaluations of 2012 for Microsoft STEP events globally! Jiihaa!

I work currently as a Senior Technical Fellow at my own company Adminize.
I’m an MVP Windows Expert-ITPro since 2011 and I’m part of the Microsoft STEP. I train and consult everything that has something to do with OS Deployment, management, security and troubleshooting and have been doing it for the past 18 years – more than half of my life.
I’ve been an MCT for more than 12 years and I’ve been speaking to audiences from tens to thousands globally.
I’m also a diving instructor, jogger, snowboarder, driver, dad of two beautiful daughters and a husband to my lovely wife.
