Bio
Kelvin O. Medina, AWS-CSAA-CSS, CISSP, GCIH, CISA, QSA
Jerome Collins was one my instructors for a Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) class that I took on December 2012. During the entire course he demonstrated to be a very articulated individual something that allowed me understands the material being taught in an easier but unforgettable way. Also, Jerome complemented the theoretical side of the course with his real life experiences as an Engineer making everything fall into context. I am confident that he will continue to be a valuable asset for the acquisition community in the years to come.
