Warren loves to design and troubleshoot directory-enabled networks and his students regularly contact him for design and troubleshooting advice.

Warren has trained many of the CNEs who work for the State of Florida in Tallahassee, Florida. Outside of the classroom Warren has primarily supported Educational and Health Care Enterprise Networks. He is also the author of the Novell NetWare 6.5 CNA Exam Cram 2, published by Que Publishing. A sample chapter of the Exam Cram 2 is available for review on InformiT.com.

He has been the Technical Editor for over 20 certification titles in the last few years. At heart, he is a teacher who loves what technical education offers. Many of Warren’s certification articles can be found on InformiT.com, including “Now What? -A Career Changer’s Odyssey”.

A very gracious story titled a "A Man of Change" by Dean Poling, describes the genesis of the Exam Cram 2 title. It was published in the Valdosta Daily Times, of Valdosta, Georgia, on October 15, 2005. The article was not posted on the Times' website, but I was given permission by the editor to post it here. The article that cites a major career accomplishment in Tallahassee, Florida, is reprinted here from the Tallahassee Democrat. In November 2007, the Madison County Carrier published an article- "Favorite Teacher..."-Madison County Carrier 11/07-highlighting some of my accomplishments in Education and Training. It was published in print, but was not archived on their website. I was given permission to share it with visitors. In December of 2007 Warren was a scholarship recipient from the International Biopharmaceutical Association for CDM Training toward the GCP and GDMP certifications from KRGI.org.

Before diving into IT as a career, Warren was a professional cabinet/furniture maker specializing in antique restorations and custom woodturnings. He is still an avid woodworker and craftsmen. He loves working wood and teaching others woodworking. He was published in many well known woodworking publications. You can view his woodworking background by clicking the Trade Resume link in the left frame.

You can view an outline of Warren's employment history here. You will note in this outline the following highlights:

• He developed and managed the Department of Life Safety Services for Cornell University Medical College in NYC in the mid-70's, including the Safety Training Program. In this position the focus was on:
  • Division development,
  • Violation abatement focusing on OSHA, NYFD and NYS issued violations
  • Improving the HVAC outcomes for one newly constructed building whose laboratory hoods were not up to code.
  • Chemical and Fire Safety with a focus on NFPA standards
  • Establishing a model Training Program in Fire, Chemical, Biohazard, and Life Safety Matters.
• He was a member of the Engineering Department of New York Hospital in the early 80's. Here his primary focus was projects in Operating Rooms, ICUs, and JCAOH compliance. Additionally, he helped to develop an Inventory Control System for one division of this Department.
• Apart from teaching these are two of his favorite positions because of the work environments- great people with a philosophy institution-wide that focused on the patient and the students. That has never left him.

Avocationally, Warren's ultimate career goal based on call is/was to work full-time as a Hospital Chaplain with a special focus on the terminally ill, hospice care and geriatrics. This has not changed over the years. Life and history have not enabled Warren to fulfill that goal yet, so he continues his work in IT. (Primoris crux crucis tunc resurrection!)

Philosophically, his family comes before any professional interests. For relaxation his 100 lb lab- Blondie- loves shagging wayward golf shots. Above all else Warren loves to laugh.

In terms of education he advocates excellence over mediocrity and working in a profession that he loves where he can earn a living. He encourages his students to find something they love where they can earn what they need to live the life they want. Teaching for Warren is an interaction and collaboration involving someone who wants to share something s/he knows with someone who wants to learn that same skill or concept. It matters not whether he is teaching academics, trade or IT people or folks in the church. His classes are relaxed and full of alot of real world stories.

Though a native New Yorker, born in Queens and raised in Brooklyn and Queens NY, Warren has resided in North Florida for the last 19 years which has been the geographic base for the Training and Support operations. He is currently selling his home and relocating farther north as he entertains the notion of pursuing his ultimate career goal, and expanding his offerings. If you know of someone who is looking to move to a very peaceful and reasonably priced environment in North Florida feel free to contact him.

For those interested in employing Warren-full time, part time or on a contract basis, a full confidential resume is available upon request, by contacting 3WsCertification.com. A full resume is not posted on this site.
