Jeff SaxeI'm a senior network engineer at Blue Ridge InternetWorks, a small ISP, hosting, and IT consulting company in Charlottesville, Virginia. We are smart, competent, and innovative, and we treat our clients fairly.
I am proud to have passed the certification tests necessary to be declared a double Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE). I am CCIE number 9376 (ooh! ahh! a four-digit number), certified in both Routing & Switching (May 2002) and Security (March 2008). If you have any networking projects that require the assistance of a smart, dedicated person with good technical chops, thorough understanding of network protocols and behavior, and excellent troubleshooting skills, go ahead and contact me or my employer.
I used to be the network engineer at Crutchfield Corporation, an excellent mail-order and Internet retailer of car stereo and home theater components and accessories. <shamelessplug> They're a recognized industry leader in car audio -- order a stereo and speakers to replace your wimpy factory radio, and they'll include a free installation kit with faceplates, mounting hardware, snap-on wiring harness, and instructions specifically for your car. You get do-it-yourself savings with professional-looking and -sounding results. Call 'em today -- 1-800-955-3000! </shamelessplug> And please do look around their Web site -- I was very proud to be part of the team that kept it running smoothly.
My Apple MacBook Pro is the best laptop I've ever used, hands down. We have a right to expect computers to be easy, powerful, beautiful, and fun to use!! And by the way, MacGurus is a great place to buy RAM, hard drives, and other things to put inside and next to your Mac.
Laura and I have a son and daughter! Nathaniel Quinn Saxe was born back in 1998, and Eleanor Rosemary Saxe in 2005. They're both incredibly sweet and clever.
Hey, many years ago I actually won a car in a promotion sweepstakes! Laura and I drove across this great country (from Seattle, south along the coast to San Francisco, then more or less eastward back home to Virginia) in our then-new '95 Nissan Sentra. Here's an old picture of me with the car; you can't see the license plate, but it now reads "PERL ROX" (and Perl certainly does). I don't know if the current DealerNet is actually the same company that awarded me the car so long ago. I heard about the contest in an electronic magazine called WEBster, but I believe it's defunct now.
I went to school at the University of Virginia (mathematics distinguished major, chemistry minor, class of '89). I appreciated the academic freedom of the Echols Scholar program.
I'm very proud of my brother, Andrew Saxe, who after graduating from New York University jumped into the motion picture industry with both feet. He's been some variety of location manager or production manager for many films; you can search the Internet Movie Database to find them.
Thanks to Thomas E. Worrell, Jr. for my portrait at the top of the page.
