Michael has 21 years experience in the Australian communications industry, and has experienced life as an end user, integrator and supplier of communications products.

With his vast experience and qualifications, which include a Bachelor or Applied Sciences in Computing, Michael is one of Australia's leading and most 'in-demand' internetworking experts.

Michael began his career as an application programmer for Tooheys Limited, a large multinational Australian corporation, where he worked for six and a half years on commercial and industrial systems and networking applications.

He then moved on to network integration company Network Solutions Australia, designing and supporting data networks for large corporate and government customers for a further six and a half years.

Michael joined Cisco as a Systems Engineer (SE) in 1993, and was soon promoted to SE Manager shortly after his appointment. For the last three years Michael has operated in his current capacity as a Senior Consulting Engineer, solving business problems for enterprise and service provider customers using Cisco's industry-leading products.

In May 2000, in recognition of his technical leadership and achievements, Michael was awarded the position of Distinguished Engineer - the highest position for field engineers within Cisco Systems.
