You might say that at one time I was a certifications junkie. The breadth and depth of topics covered in modern IT is huge, and a dozen different technologies and specializations may be necessary for any given IT project. I found early on that to quantify one's experience into a basic resume is a difficult proposition. The best way to quantify all of this knowledge, it seemed to me, was through certifications. The end result is that at one point I held well over 200 business and technology certifications.

While my current career focus is more business oriented, I do keep up with my technical skills. I find that my technical skills are invaluable in helping business to work with their technical resources to come up with the right solution. While I no longer maintain every certification, I still hold well over a hundred, including more than twenty job certifications, twenty-nine certifications with scores in the top thirty in the country, the top score in the country in Internet Technology Fundamentals, and the top score in the world currently in Records Information Management.

Some of the certifications I hold include Comptia's Network+ and I-net+. The bulk of my certifications are through Brainbench. My complete, current transcript of certifications can be found here.

In addition to my prodigious test taking, I have also contributed to the other side of the certification industry. I was on the Subject Matter Expert panel that determined subject matter, developed and approved questions for Comptia's e-biz+ exam. I also served as a test developer and approver for Brainbench's Internet Explorer 6 Administration exam, and have participated as a beta tester for numerous exams over time.
