A wireless network engineer from Texas with a passion for technology and using it to do amazing things.
I’m happiest when I’m able to get hands-on with a project and get some great tidbits of information in the process. I’m like a sponge, I soak it all in. In the last few months I have had the unique opportunity to work on a cool project between a vendor and one of their customers.... Continue Reading →

I want to talk about one little issue that keeps popping up over and over to reiterate something that might be overlooked, as it is so many times in the field:DHCP Scope Size on Public Wireless NetworksIt sounds ridiculous, I know, but I've had to troubleshoot so many networks where the DHCP scope was not...
