It can now be told…

Monday September 19th • Community Category

…that I too am joining Microsoft. I was fortunate enough to land my dream job, Developer Evangelist for the Midwest district. That means that if you live in the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin and you are a developer, it is my job to make sure you have the information and resources you need to become a better Microsoft developer. I will also be your sounding board for all of your feedback on Microsoft’s tools and technologies. If you have any thoughts and/or complaints on what we’re doing or where we’re heading, I’d be more than happy to talk with you.


I’m highly looking forward to my new career endeavor and look forward to working more closely with the Midwest developer community.

    Congratulations! That’s wonderful news. Heck, maybe I can persuade you to throw some of those information and resource tidbits out to us developers on the west coast!

    WooHoo. I’ve got orange Kool-Aid waiting for you. But don’t worry, the little red pill is much easier to swallow than the Big Blue one!
