Today I’m extremely excited, honored and humbled to announce that I have been recognized as a Microsoft MVP for first time.  Becoming an MVP has been an informal goal for me for quite sometime now.  I’ve always kept this as more of an informal goal because I’ve always thought of myself as someone that does the right thing when no one is looking.  In fact, this is something I work on constantly with my oldest son because it is that important to me. 

My end goal with being involved in community events and/or actively blogging has never been to receive an award (I don’t mean to sound like others do this).  I do these things because I'm passionate about my work and I'm passionate about teaching others about it.  Anyways I’m very thrilled to be part of this new part of the community and look forward to contributing more!
