Welcome to the CiscoStu page...
What is CiscoStu?

Well, I suppose it's my on-line nom de plume, or alias. Many of my online contacts know me by this name only.

Where did you get such a great alias?

CiscoStu is a cleverly devised name, originating from a combination of 2 of my favorite things:

"Cisco", from Cisco Systems Inc (TM). I am a Network Analyst by trade, currently working for Canada's largest independant Oil & Gas company in Calgary, AB, Canada. I have been in the IT industry for more than 15 years, with the last 10 focused primarily on networking and communications. I have held several certifications from Cisco in the past, but none are currently active.

"DiscoStu", from The Simpsons (TM). DiscoStu is a character on The Simpsons, easily recognizable by the '70s-era hairdo (a perm) and clothes (a studded leisure suit). DiscoStu first made an appearance during the Simpsons' garage sale, when someone found an old jacket of Homer's with the lettering "DiscoStu" on the back. When asked what it meant, Homer explained that his "Bedazzler" ran out of studs before he could spell "DiscoStud".
