Who am I:
I'm a SharePoint Architect who has been around the block; I've been working with SharePoint prior to the release of SharePoint Portal Server 2001.  I'm a geek; I love what I do and I’m very successful in my field. I recently published my 1st book and am working on my second book with Sybex.  On a personal note - I had brain surgery on 01.17.10 for an almost always fatal neurological disorder.  I’ve made a full recovery and am a stronger and more positive person because amazing recovery.  Thanks to the people who were pulling and praying for me.

I’ve made some amazing friends being involved in the SharePoint community.  On 06.09 I launched the first SharePoint Saturday Chicago followed by SharePoint Saturday Chicago on 10.10.  I founded the "The SharePoint Road Show" and it kicked off on 9.09 (with a room filled with 200 people) and then again on 01.11.   These events help people learn and grow and for the speakers; we make lifelong friendships.
