Because I manage Aerohive’s social channels, and our HiveNation community, and our HiveMind blog, I have the distinct honor and privilege of watching a steady flow of compliments paid to our training team. Pretty much the minute a training class has been completed, and a certification earned, it starts: The Internet erupts with Tweets and posts from student-customers singing the praises of our talented instructors.
Their popularity is in part because Aerohive is the only WLAN company in which the entire training team is Certified Wireless Network Experts (CWNE’s).

Travel Fun Fact: “In the last year I have been on the road between 40 and 45 weeks, in 7 different countries acquiring 10's of 1,000's of miles, in coach. As I write this I am in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “(Editor’s note: “In coach” is a big deal when you are 6'6" and are stuck there for hours on end. Editor’s other note about the camel photo: Bryan is often the man behind the lens when it comes to employee photos, but this time he was the subject.)
