My Third Year as an MVP

I just got my email that I’ve been awarded an MVP award again this year for SharePoint server.  This is my third year and I am still as EXCITED and HONORED as I was my first year.  Being an MVP this past year while SharePoint 2010 was being completed and released has been incredible.  I often wonder how I learned as much as I did before I gained access to the resources and contacts available to me as an MVP.

But the bottom line is still that I wouldn’t be an MVP if it weren’t for all of you out there in the community.  My thanks to all those who have asked me questions this past year and to those who came to listen to me at conferences.  Without you I wouldn’t have received this award.  I hope to continue to live up to the honor and hope that I never get complacent about what its really about: Helping to support the SharePoint community.

I am a SharePoint MVP who has specialized in Microsoft products since the mid-1990s. As a "Jack of all Trades" I have developed expertise as a network administrator, developer, and DBA. I works as a consultant/trainer where my breadth of knowledge makes me ideally suited to combine Administrative, Development, and SharePoint Designer topics. My 20+ years of experience and broad background make me a much sought after resource for SharePoint questions that cross traditional boundaries. I was a contributing author to the Developer's Guide to Windows SharePoint Services v3 Platform and the SharePoint Server 2007 Deployment Best Practices. My most recent book, the MCTS Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-631, was released in October, 2009.
