In My Spare Time, I . . .

Run. Every day. Sometimes short and sometimes marathons. I have Medoc and NYC marathons coming up this year.

Dance. Lindy Hop. Not much lately though.

Music. Listen to and more and more rarely playing myself. I'm mostly punk but love other things too.

Hi, im Christian. RHCA Level 4. Red Hat Instructor for..... i cant remember, a lot...

I m not a nerd, this is not a right word, perhaps "IT freeky". 

Principal skills Cloud and datacenter, and i love to teach, when i have the oportunity, the best RH infrastructure course: Tunning & Performance.

i ll be pleasente to give my 2 cents, here in this great and new community

[Deanna]

Great to have you in the Red Hat Learning Community @Chris_C! I am curious to see if you are preparing for any additional exams, given you are RHCA Level IV.  Additionally what is the best advice you can give for those looking to also pursue their RHCE or RHCA credential.

Thanks!

David Lewis from Tulsa, OK.

Platform, OpenShift, and Linux Troubleshooting.

Favorite?  RH342 - Troubleshooting, hands down.  The DO280 is fun too.

Other things I do: racquetball when I have time (I never do).  Shoot innocent paper targets (still no time). Play Kerbal Space Program.

Oh, and I travel a bit.  Just a bit.  ;)

[Dave]

Actually, on the travel thing, I spend a good amount of time tweaking my "experience".  Maximizing points and miles, making sure my annual fee credit cards are returning adequate value, that sort of thing.  I'm amazed that many other instructors I've met DON'T do this - with all we travel.  It both makes my travel more enjoyable and even makes it return value.
