Subject: [WISPA] Our First WISP Consultant Vendor Member - Butch Evans
I am sure many of you know a friend of mine, Butch Evans, who has been
here helping for as long as I can remember on all the WISP lists out
there. Butch is one of my favorite people in this industry. He is not
just a good consultant, he is a good person who genuinely cares about
the people as much as the work. He is a friend and I am very happy to be
making his introduction here today. Butch has helped WISPA by serving on
our nominations committee and CALEA committee and has supported our
efforts to build WISPA since the beginning. He signed up as an Associate
Member a while back and has now upgraded his membership to a full Vendor
Membership in WISPA. This makes him our first WISP Consultant Vendor
Member I believe. You are one of the truly good ones Butch Evans and I
thank you for making this step up in WISPA. Here is some background
information about Butch in his own words:
In January of 1994, I began working as an ISP with a small company in
rural south east Missouri. I have been (since then) either an employee
of or partner in 4 ISPs. The ISP business is a passion for me. I have
spent countless hours reading and "tinkering" with my network. During
the period of 1994-2006, I have become quite proficient with network
designs that make an ISP network behave as it should.
In 2001, I began using Mikrotik RouterOS on my network to build out my
infrastructure. This software (in my opinion) fills nearly every need
that most small ISPs or other small businesses could ever need for a
routing infrastructure. I began working on a curriculum to train other
ISPs about this software in 2003 as part of a partnership with
WISP-Router that we called WISP-Training. The WISP-Training
organization has trained HUNDREDS of WISPs, small business, hobbyists
and government employees to use the Mikrotik software. I am 1 of only 2
certified Mikrotik RouterOS trainers in the United States.
In February 2006, I went full time in consulting and training. My time
is dedicated to assisting WISPs in building, troubleshooting and
designing their networks. As much as I misss being an ISP, teaching has
become a real passion for me. I now have 2 fully developed training
courses and will (by the end of the year) have another 2. I have
training partnerships with several WISP equipment resellers and am
working to develop further relationships in this area.
Butch Evans Consulting is passionate about the WISP industry and our
goal is to see your business succeed through proper network design,
education and management of existing resources.
