linux/network related work

[Walker (Zachary) Tippit]

Hello, I'm new to the list.  I used to belong to the
Northern Colorado Linux Users Group in Fort Collins,
CO but have relocated(back) here in the last couple
years.  Before I left, I worked here at one of the
area's first ISPs called Interstate Networking.  Did
anyone here have an account?  Anyhow, after a year and
a half of doing "systems integrator" work at Sprint, I
want to get back into a locally owned business working
with linux.  I figured this would be a good place to
start.  I'm including a text version of my resume
below.

Thank you
Zachary Walker Tippit
