Peter has been fascinated by computers since the early 1980s. He was the founding president of PCJAM, Jamaica's first computer user group, and was the principal systems engineer responsible for the computerization of the island's tax collection and social security systems.


He then sought new opportunities as the western Caribbean representative for a Fortune 500 pharmaceuticals firm and later became the international sales manager for a West Indian rum company. Before moving to Silicon Valley he ran Trinidad and Tobago's first industrial trade office to Latin America.


He has worked extensively in high volume, mission-critical, high-availability environments used by a number of Fortune 500 companies. He is also a Cisco Certified Internetworking Engineer (CCIE). This technical experience combined with his varied business background has helped him to create this highly readable book for the newbie, techie and their bosses.


In his quieter moments, Peter enjoys the art and literature of the Caribbean and Latin America. Long rides on his bicycle provide another guilty pleasure. Peter likes to relax with his family on short weekend trips to the many attractions of the San Francisco bay area.
