Tom Carpenter

I am a 25+ year veteran of the IT industry. Like many, I started in entry-level systems support and quickly moved into the role  of a systems analyst and network engineer. I founded SysEdCo in 1997 and have continued operating this technical content development and training company since that time. Having written more than 20 books for the IT industry, I bring a wealth of experience to  any topic and hold many certifications from both vendors and vendor-neutral certification organizations.I am also the head of certification development for the CWNP program and am heavily involved in objectives development and exam creation within the  certification industry. I currently live in Ohio with my lovely wife Julie and enjoys anything related to technology, learning and human  potential.I use AWS daily. It is used to run several business websites that I operate as well as test labs used for content creation and management.  AWS is everything I did in the 90's, and more, in the cloud!
