I’m Tom Hollingsworth. I’ve spent been in the Information Technology industry since 2001. I’ve worked with enterprise networking and wireless, server virtualization, and unified communications. A large part of my career was spent in the K-12 education market, so I look at many things from the perspective of education IT. Nothing like the perspective you get from working with enterprise-class networks on small business budgets.

I am CCIE #29213, as well as holding a variety of certifications from Novell, Microsoft, VMware, and ISC².

I am currently an Event Lead on the Tech Field Day event series, focusing on networking and wireless events. I help enhance interactions between social media influencers and members of the greater IT community.

What I Do

I write about technology and trends in the industry. I analyze networking topics and provide insight and explanation. I also participate in industry events and podcasts in the same capacity. I use my unique perspective to help the community understand difficult technology topics.

More specifically, due to rampant abuse of these terms you will now be required to obtain explicit permission to repost more than an excerpt from any of my posts. This is necessary due to the number of content scraping sites that will repost my entire work with a barely readable link at the bottom on a page filled with ads. It’s time for this to stop. If you want to repost my entire post you’re going to need to get my permission first. Otherwise, I’ll send the Tumblbeasts to your house.
