FKA sqlwarewolf. It’s been 7 years since I was last active in the community. Life threw some challenges my way. I’m still here, ready to reconnect & contribute. Excited for a fresh start & focused on what matters: people & projects that deserve my energy.
Ready to leave the past, in the past.

Since 2018, I’ve worked behind the scenes, but I’m looking to get more involved in the community and my career. I’m interested in SQL/Azure leadership groups at the Director/VP level. Any recommendations for virtual groups that meet regularly?
