Josh Townsend Hello, and thank you for visiting VMtoday. My name is Josh Townsend. I am a technology professional with a strong background in VMware Virtualization, Storage, and Microsoft technologies. I am the Virtualization Practice Manager at Clearpath Solutions Group in Herndon, VA, where I support our VMware, Cisco, and EMC customers with all things virtual. I am also leader of the Washington DC Metro Area VMware User Group (VMUG).

I hold several technical certifications, including VMware Certified Professional. I am also a 2010, 2011 and 2012 VMware vExpert.
