Speaking Engagement – KC VMUG

For those that are interested in learning a little bit more about Puppet, join me at the KC VMUG Meeting on August 15th from 1:30 – 4.

vExpert 2013

Finally dug out of the past couple of weeks to do some writing and I have a bunch of stuff to talk about. Hoping to have several posts here in the next week or so. One of the big events that has happened over the last week is that I was selected as one of the vExperts for 2013. I’m honored to be one of the selected members for this year and truly grateful for the recognition.

2013 Goals

I’ve been making my goals public for a few years now and 2013 is going to be no different. I haven’t always been the best at reaching my goals. At least, I’ve never been 100%. But that’s not always the point. The point is to put a marker ahead of you on the road of life and work your ass off to get there. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail. But its the try that makes us better no matter the outcome.
