I just hope somewhere along the way I helped at least one person. I love speaking about SQL server and love helping others even more
If this does end up being my last session I just wanted to thank all the folks that planned the events. I learned so much and will be forever grateful to the community. FYI, Health is not the reason I probably will no longer speak. It has been a great ride!
Since then I think I did 68 SQL Saturdays and 35 user groups. On this journey I met some amazing people and found the SQL community to be very welcoming and fun!!!
Thanks to all folks who planned and volunteered at SQL Saturday in Boston! It was a great event! I delivered what may end up being my final SQL Saturday session. Presenting at SQL Saturdays and user groups started in Indianapolis 10 years ago.
I am looking forward to presenting my PowerShell for the SQL Server DBA session at #sqlsatatl this weekend. The again in two weeks at #SQLSatJax. Where I will also present a new session on Securing your Azure SQL Database. It is going to be fun!!!!

Congrats to all!! Sadly I had to drop out this year. It is a great program!!!!! Hopefully be back next year.
After taking a long time off from speaking due to medical issues, I had the honor of presenting to the Iowa user groups over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to the organizers and attendees. It was fun to speak again!! @QuadCityPASS @YetAnotherSQL @MoyaJuanM @sjacker

Over the weekend I renewed my MCT certification for the 22nd year. Only time will tell if it will be my last, depends on how the year goes.
