George, Dennis and Rick

“The joy of working with hundreds (or thousands?) of students over 25 years, and with friends and colleagues all over the world. Helping students find what they love in life (networking or not) and at the same time showing them how much I love what I get to do every day. The Cisco Networking Academy became more of a Cisco Networking Family. The biggest impact on me has been the many friendships (too many to list here) I have made over the years. The photo includes two of those friends, George Ward (left), Dennis Frezzo (center) and me (right).”
