Ross Bagurdes

Ross has had a diverse career in engineering, beginning as a structural engineer, then project engineer for a gas utility, Ross was always quickly
assigned the de-facto network administrator, typically after no one else was brave enough to break, and later fix, the network. This lead to working as a network engineer designing and implementing enterprise networks for a major university hospital. Here he worked with
Extreme Networks, HP, Cisco, Tipping Point, among other network technology, as well as honed his Wireshark and protocol analysis skills. Ross
spent 7 years teaching data networking at Madison College, and in 2017 started authoring and producing IT training videos in Wireshark/Protocol
Analysis, Cisco, and general networking topics for www.Pluralsight.com. In his free time, you'll find Ross and his dog at the beach swimming and
surfing, traveling, hiking, or snowboarding somewhere in the western US.
