My background is I have been working with computers since I was about 12. My first "career" job in this industry was with network administration where I became the local DBA by default.

I currently am the editor of SQL Server Central and an advocate/architect at Redgate Software. I am also the President of SQL Saturday, maintain the T-SQL Tuesday monthly party, and remember our colleagues at sqlmemorial.org.
