Steve Clines

I am an Information Technology architect and engineer working the industry since 1990. I have been working primarily with Microsoft technologies and more specifically with Active Directory and Exchange Server. I have also had opportunities to speak at conferences and seminars related to these Microsoft technologies including the Microsoft TechEd conference as well as the TechMentor conference. I have also been lucky enough to be able to publish a couple of books on Active Directory. My first book title is MCSE Designing a Windows Server 2000 Active Directory Infrastructure for Dummies which is a study guide for the 70-219 MCP exam. I have a new book on AD coming out in August, 2008 - Active Directory for Dummies. My professional certifications include MCSE and MCT.

What about in my leisure time? My main hobbies are music (I play Trombone in a couple of jazz groups as well as at church) and playing Xbox. Between that and spending time with my wife and my dog (a Westie) that pretty much keeps me busy and entertained. I am also a big A/V nut. Just built out my home theatre and am always fiddling around with it.
