About Us

First off, let me welcome you to my corner of the web. My name is Scott & I live in the amazing small town of Ocean Springs, MS with my wife Lesley. You can follow me on twitter @theITrebel. No, that's not the I trebel lol.

Ole Miss Rebel (my alma mater) + IT guy = theITrebel

I am a Solutions Consulting Manager for Aruba, an HPE Company and spend most of my time architecting network/security solutions for various companies across almost every vertical imaginable. I have spent time as a Sr Systems Engineer & Wireless SME for a VAR based near Atlanta, GA and working in some of the most amazing places across the globe such as Australia, Europe, Africa, and here at home as a global FSE for the former Meru Networks (now part of Fortinet) and . Across those continents, I enjoyed the privilege of installing & troubleshooting WLANs in places such as Major League Baseball stadiums, cruise liners, hospitals, and universities just to name a few.

My goal in creating this podcast was for it to serve as a platform to present my ideas and viewpoints on all things tech, while mainly focusing on WiFi. I hope that you enjoy listening to the podcast, and bare with us while we get our bearings about us since this is a first endeavor into the realm of podcasting. Shout out to Lesley for allowing me the time to put efforts into this  podcast, and I also want to thank Tauni for joining me to help provide humor and direction amongst my endless ramblings.

First off, let me welcome you to my corner of the web!  LOL

My names is Tauni and I live in the big town of San Antonio, TX.  My Twitter handle is not as creative - it is just me @tauniodia. 

I have been doing Marketing for over 15 years across several industries - including Finance, Gov, Retail, Healthcare and now Technology.  

I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the wireless community for the last 8 years. I have worked for a Wireless Ecosystem Manufacturer focusing on Antennas, Enclosures, Cable and Power Systems, and currently working for Ekahau as Director of Product Marketing and Training.  Over the past 8 years, I have absolutely fallen in love with the technology!  I take advantage of every opportunity to learn.  At times it can be overwhelming, but I have been fortunate to have some great mentors, who have helped me focus.  I have a tendency to be all over the place!  

Those mentors have encouraged me to use the knowledge I have gained to pursue my CWNE.  I have conquered the CWNA, CWSP and am now on to my CWAP.  I am excited to share what I have learned and take you on this journey with me! 

Third off, let me welcome you to the last and clearly best corner of the web!

My name is Sam and my family and I live just south of Nashville, TN in a little city called Spring Hill. My twitter handle is the very intuitive @samuel_clements and there really isn’t much to deconstruct from that.

I work for a large VAR here in the states and I’m passionate about all things wireless. Having grown up in Southern California being exposed to some of the earliest ORiNOCO and Prism/2 Wi-Fi solutions, through the adoption of the Intel Centrino transition. After relocating to Northern Wisconsin, I picked up Wi-Fi technologies again and have been living there ever since! I am CCIE #40269 (Wireless) as well as CWNE #101 and I do a number of things in and for the community as part of the WLAN Association, and for the Wi-Fi Pros slack group to name a few.

I’ve been a regular consumer of The Contention Window podcast and look forward to being a content contributor that someone somewhere gets some value out of!
