My head may very well explode. I was done some tuning today and glanced at the Outlook new mail notification. At first I thought it was spam and then I did a double take.

It was a thank you from Microsoft and notification that I was awarded MVP for 2017-2018! I nearly fell out of my chair and I seriously couldn’t have been more excited. Thank you.

I cannot thank the community enough for allowing me to speak at your user groups, reading my blog posts, and selecting my sessions for SQL Saturday. I truly feel honored be a part of the SQL community and I love meeting new faces and chatting with friends at each event.

So again here’s a big THANK YOU! To the community.

I’ll see you all next at SQL Saturday Orlando on October 7 2017.
