William G. Daniel

William Daniel is a Senior Wireless Training Specialist for GigaWave Technologies in San Antonio, TX. William Daniel spent thirteen years as a HUMINT (human intelligence) professional in the U.S. Army working with and managing the security of classified documents, and as he puts it, "InfoSec (information security) is in my blood".  Before coming to GigaWave he spent five years as a Microsoft Certified Trainer, teaching management, architecture and security for Microsoft-based systems.  Since 2005 he has devoted himself exclusively to Cisco wireless, developing courseware and delivering training to hundreds of students both in the U.S. and abroad.  When he's not busy teaching or writing he can often be found playing with his home lab or adding to his security tool chest because, as he says, "You have to know how to break it if you want to know how to fix it."
 
William's Cisco certifications include CCNA, CCNA Wireless, CCDA and CCSI, as well as the Wireless LAN Field Engineer specialization.  William also has his MCSE+I on Windows NT 4, MSCA and MCSE on Windows 2000, and has considerable experience working with Microsoft's Server 2003, and different versions of Microsoft's SQL, ISA, and Exchange servers.
