Bio
Jeremy McKain
I worked with Mario for three years. He is hands down one of the brightest network admins I've had the pleasure of working with. I saw Mario take on projects and roles well outside his comfort zone, exceeding expectations at every turn. He became a vital part of our team as well as the network engineering team. His rare mix of productivity and ambition set a great example for the rest of his peers. I certainly miss working with him, and no matter where he ends up, I have only optimistic predictions for his career trajectory.
