About the Author

Ed Goad is a Systems Architect who has been working in various roles in the IT field for 16 years. He first became interested in scripting and automation when presented with the task to uninstall software from over 1,000 systems with limited time and resources. He has worked with scripting and automation on multiple platforms and languages including PowerShell, VBscript, C#, and BASH scripting.

Ed currently holds multiple Microsoft certifications, most recently including the Microsoft Certified IT Professional—Enterprise Administrator. Additional non-Microsoft certifications include VMware Certified Professional (VCP), Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), EMC Proven Professional, Brocade Certified Network Engineer (BCNE), and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).

Ed is currently on sabbatical, and is volunteering full time at the Amor Fe y Esperanza school in Honduras (http://www.afehonduras.org). There he is teaching computer and math classes to children who live and work in the garbage dump outside of the capital city of Tegucigalpa.

I would like to thank my parents for always encouraging me when I was younger by telling me that I could be anything that I wanted, as long as I had good math skills. They bought our first computer before I even started school, and then let me break it and repair it over and over, driving my interest in computers.

I want to thank my wife for loving me and encouraging me to grow and be more than I was. Without her love and encouragement my life wouldn't be nearly as full as it is now.

And lastly, I would like to thank God for his blessings and the opportunities he has given me. As much as I have learned and accomplished, it is nothing compared to knowing his love.
