I am thrilled to announce that Microsoft has once again honored me with the MVP Award for SQL Server. Last year was my first award and I have to say that I was blown away by the brilliance and altruism of so many members of the MVP community. I attended my first Global MVP Summit this past November and the experience was even more amazing than I expected. I am so proud to be counted in this fine group of professionals.

Wow. Between starting a new job on Monday and getting renewed as an MVP on Wednesday, this is turning out to be quite the week.
