I'm a  CCIE-"dinosaurus". I passed the lab on first attempt in August 1995. Cisco started counting the CCIE numbers beginning with 1024. My CCIE number is 1561. So I was among the first 600 CCIEs worldwide at that time. At the time of my exam passing there were about 80 CCIEs in Europe. Most of the CCIEs were in US because the program started there.

According to an info from the CCIE Program Manager in 2005 I was one of only 300 "10-years-CCIE" in the entire world !

Countries I have travelled to businesswise (now with many photos)

I have trained people from various companies and organizations, as well as at Cisco Paris, Cisco London and Cisco TAC Brussels (where I have done "new-hire"-, CRIC, CID, and SEDW - System Engineers Design Workshop - classes).

My bootcamp attendees were coming from these countries.

Since I'm conducting my CCIE Preparation Workshops (later called CCIE Bootcamp) I have trained and prepared  over 700 CCIEs for the exam, coming from many countries and companies , including Cisco.

'My CCIEs' are spread around the world
