Jeff Walker (blog), a great coworker of mine at House of Brick Technologies, passed the VMware Certified Professional for vSphere 5 (VCP5) exam this past week. Jeff, congratulations! You have gone from a zero experience on VMware to very good in less than a year. We have pushed you hard to ramp up,  you rise to the challenge every time, and you have worked night and day to pass this exam. It’s a very rough exam, and I consider those who pass it to honestly know their stuff.

Congrats man – you’ve earned it!I can’t wait to see how you respond to the next new chapters of our pushing you – here comes the next great SQL Server DBA, and next stop – VMware Certified Advanced Professional for Datacenter Design (VCAP5-DCD)!
