Network "Engineer" (put in quotes for you actual engineers who get pissy about IT guys claiming engineer status )/24x7 Network Operations Team lead.

I went from my first day at my first IT job to somehow securing the team lead slot for the network operations team in 3 years less one week. I'm not amazing. I don't get how it happened that fast, other than the senior guys were smart enough to know they didn't want the position. So I basically defer issues to vendors and herd cats, my favorite of which is a Vietnam/Combat/Marine Corps vet who is, frankly, insane.

Before IT I was a student/did odd jobs for a general contractor/construction company.

Prior to that, I was a 19D in the Army.
