Edit: Passed Exam today first time. Amazing instructor. I had previously read a text book on this exam and taken a different course but still didn't feel ready for the MTA 98-365 exam. After taking this course with Kevin, i not only feel confident in taking the exam but i know my way around Windows Server 2016 comfortably. Thanks Kevin and Udemy

I have been in the technology field for more than 20 years.  I have been a high performing Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) since 2000 and a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor since 2006.  I began my career in telecommunications more than 20 years ago.  Since then I have worked as a Systems Admin, Network Admin, System integrator, Solutions Architect, and CTO. My courses are not presentations that rely on slides to explain concepts.  My goal is to demonstrate every concept covered, instead of using slides that cover theory, we will use the interface to configure every setting that is discussed.  In my view, if you do not know how to complete a task that a course covered, that course was not beneficial.  I will make sure that you know how to complete each task and the various configurations for those tasks.
