About

Welcome to Astorino Networks, and thanks for stopping by! My name is Joe Astorino, and I am passionate about networking! I also absolutely love to teach, and to help others truly understand the many networking technologies and concepts necessary for them to become successful not only on their Cisco certification exams, but in the real world .

I am a proud Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, as well as Pluralsight author and Cisco Networking Academy instructor. I have extensive experience and expertise in designing, configuring and troubleshooting large scale Cisco networks, and with authoring and teaching Cisco training solutions.

I believe strongly in having good mentors and in mentoring others that have a true desire to learn. When I was just getting started in technology and networking, I had some tremendous mentors that helped me grasp concepts that didn’t seem so easy to grasp at the time. Throughout my career, and when I was pursuing the CCIE, I also found many wonderful mentors. My mentors helped light a fire that made me internalize the belief that anything is possible. They inspired. I hope that the content I put out is a way that I can be a virtual mentor to you, and inspire you on your own journey to success in the networking industry.
