Chris Wahl is a VMware Certified Design Expert who writes about data center and network virtualization. He authored a book called "Networking for VMware Administrators" where all royalties are donated to the Alzheimer's Association. Wahl started blogging out of frustration from inheriting a large vSphere environment that used NFS storage extensively, which presented challenges. His blog provides takeaways about the benefits of collaboration, driving towards fear to learn new skills, and how putting yourself out there can lead to greater opportunities.
