choodprofilepicMy name is Charles Hood and this is my blog.  There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I live near Atlanta, Georgia where I work as a Systems Engineer for Brocade.  I came to the company by way of the McDATA acquisition, and I’ve spent the past 7 years focused on storage networking.  I’ve also had some experience with the storage side of storage area networks, having previously held positions at both EMC and Xiotech.

These days I have a passion for social media; I’m active on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.  Feel free to engage me in conversation 140 characters at a time @charleshood.  When I’m not working, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family.  I have a penchant for science-fiction novels, with some of my favorite authors being John Scalzi, Orson Scott Card, David Weber and John Ringo.  I’m thoroughly perturbed that flying cars are not yet a reality.
