About the Racker Hacker


I’ve been a Linux system administrator for about 6 years, and along the way, there have been many influential people who have taught me best practices, problem solving skills, and patience. I feel that this blog is a way to give back to those who have helped me, and to those who are still learning.
Currently, I’m a Linux Senior Systems Engineer for Rackspace Managed Hosting, a full-service dedicated hosting provider in Texas. I am a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) and a Certified MySQL Database Administrator (CMDBA) (#6520).
Before working at Rackspace, I worked for a Certificate Authority in Texas, where I was the VP of Operations. This involved being a system administrator and lead application developer. I’ve also worked as an independent contractor and consultant with my own business. Since 2000, I’ve held an EMT certification in the State of Texas.
If there’s anything else you want to know, or if you have comments, I’m all ears.
