What a ride this year has been! In May I was laid off from MSFT. Soon after became a #DockerCaptain, landed a new role at @Jamf leading #Azure + #AKS, & now I’ve been re-awarded a #MicrosoftMVP for the 11th year!

Honored to be back. Congrats to all new & renewed MVPs!

A bit late with this post, but last week we had a great time celebrating the 50th anniversary at the #Microsoft Innovation Hub in MN!

Someone even brought in some classic MSFT collectibles including a few Zunes. Yes, thats “Internet on a Stick.” 😄
