I started in technical support, then took on SQL Server when I realized I wanted to know what was happening behind the scenes. I began blogging and speaking in 2011, and have used both to share what I have learned in customer environments over the years.
Working for a software vendor for many years provided unique insight into software development that’s been invaluable during my time as a consultant. Both jobs have provided countless opportunities to see a variety of solutions across a wide range of industries, which helps me understand what companies need in a SQL Server expert.
