Thanks to all folks who planned and volunteered at SQL Saturday in Boston! It was a great event! I delivered what may end up being my final SQL Saturday session. Presenting at SQL Saturdays and user groups started in Indianapolis 10 years ago.

If this does end up being my last session I just wanted to thank all the folks that planned the events. I learned so much and will be forever grateful to the community. FYI, Health is not the reason I probably will no longer speak. It has been a great ride!

I just hope somewhere along the way I helped at least one person. I love speaking about SQL server and love helping others even more

What Pass giveth covid taketh away. A couple of weeks ago I was honored to be asked to present my session on how to survive an audit. Today I had to withdraw because I am currently in the hospital with covid. This makes it impossible to get the recording done. Covid sucks!!!
