Meet Tim Radney

I’ve been working with SQL Server since SQL Server 6.5 in 1998. In 2008, I made the decision to focus exclusively on Microsoft SQL Server and became a full-time DBA for the financial organization I was working with. In a short time I became the manager of the production DBA team and was ultimately responsible for 1000’s of production databases and over 100 production instances of SQL Server. In 2015, I left the financial institution to join the team at SQLskills and became a Principal Consultant helping customers around the world solve performance issues, build out HA/DR solutions, plan cloud migrations, and just about everything else SQL Server related. I hold a number of Microsoft and other industry certifications and have been awarded the Microsoft Data Platform MVP award for the past 6 years. I’ve written books on SQL Server, recorded numerous courses on Pluralsight, teach in-person classes, speak at world renowned industry conferences, and share my experience in blog posts. SQL Server enthusiasts are new learners are in great hands since I am part of a team of SQL experts who are also Gold Data Platform partners.
