David SmithNugget trainer since 2021

“I love to be able to explain a technology to someone who does not fully understand it — so that they can implement it properly and hopefully advance their careers.”

David Smith brings 25 years of IT experience to his training. He also has a background in helping people learn IT, having served as CCIE bootcamp instructor prior to joining CBT Nuggets. David dates his love of technology to when he was 12 years old after his grandfather gave him a TRS-80 Model 1 for his birthday. In his spare time, David enjoys gaming, watching movies, music, and going off-roading.
