    Hello,
    	I am, obviously, looking for a new job.  I am presently the
    Supervisor of Security Operations at Digex, where I'm supervising 4
    security analysts and doing a fair amount of analysis work myself.  My
    group is responsible for the security of over 3,000 servers.
    	I am looking for a position in the Washington DC area working in
    Security Engineering, Network Design and/or Pen Testing.  I can do
    Operations (incident response, etc), and have for the last 2 years, but I
    would like to spend a majority of my time doing long-term planning and/or 
    evaluations rather than firefighting.
    	A few things not mentioned on the resume: I enjoy working
    with computers.  I do this for fun.  I have a  Cisco switch in my
    apartment, just because it's cool (and because layer 2 in my apartment
    wasn't complicated enough).  I also have 2 Cisco routers in my apartment,
    just because they're cool (and because layer 3 wasn't complicated enough,
    either).  I tried to avoid the buzzword-bingo that I see on some resumes,
    but I can assure you that I've worked with, and am comfortable with, a
    large number of security tools out there today (Nessus, Whisker, nmap,
    snort, to name a few).
    	I'm very analytical (I have a Bachelors degree in Physics and was a
    graduate fellow in Physics before I moved to  computers),  I enjoy
    learning and learn new things very quickly (I have 3 Bachelors degrees,
    counting the Physics BSc).  A job that continually challenges me to
    learn would be one that I'd enjoy.
    
    I've included my resume below.  If you have any questions, feel free to
    contact me.
    
    Thanks.
