Welcome to Gateway of Last Resort!

About Me
Hello, my name is Matt Corrigan, I've been in IT for the past 6 years. I really found my calling when I landed a Jr. Network Engineering position 3 years ago. There's a saying that goes something like, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life" - well, this is it for me! I really enjoy the challenge and am absolutely amazed at the breadth of opportunities that this industry provides (general routing/switching, firewalls, wireless, data center networking, virtualization, etc.). When I'm not "networking" I enjoy spending time with my baby girl and beautiful wife, hunting, fishing, and working on my truck.

Purpose of This Site
After procrastinating and finally getting my CCNA and JNCIA certifications, I decided that it was time to "turn up the heat" and really start knocking out some certs. I want to chronicle my journey on the road to CCNP and beyond (JNCIS, CCSA maybe?) and hopefully contribute something of value to my peers and anyone else looking for free educational resources. Some sites that have inspired me to create this blog are as follows:
