J. Peter Bruzzese
J. Peter began his adventure in IT working for some of the largest investment banking firms in Manhattan. Goldman Sachs, Solomon Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch taught him the essentials of corporate life, networking and technology.
Eventually Peter would branch into the independent consultant and trainer world where he would work for New Horizons, CommVault Systems and even Microsoft, to name a few. For the past 15 years he has specialized in Active Directory, Exchange and SharePoint support and education, as well as Certification Instruction.
Exchange has been Peter's primary focus for ten years. He has a love for the way messaging works and has appreciated the improvements Microsoft has been making to Exchange with each release. This has led to the formation of his free site www.exclusivelyexchange.com. In addition to Exchange, Peter has focused a great deal on SharePoint 2007 and 2010. In the State of Florida he is the SharePoint admin for a voluntary disaster relief team, handling both Server administration and Site Collection administration.
Sold internationally, Peter just finished his tenth book, "Exchange 2007 SP1 How-To", and then followed it up with "Server 2008 How-To" and "Using Windows 7" all published by Que.
Peter is a regular contributor to Redmond Magazine, WindowsITPro, SharePoint Pro, and TechTarget. He is a regular speaker for TechMentor Conferences and has spoken at Microsoft TechEd Conferences, the IT360 Tech Conferences in Canada, the TEC Conference and Connections. Last but certainly not least, he writes the Enterprise Windows column for InfoWorld where he focuses extensively on server technologies like Exchange and SharePoint.
