A guy I have known for over 4 years now is going places.
I met Shannon at a contract I was working for a previous employer and quickly noticed that we both had many of the same interests and skills. Since then we have kept in contact and always seem to be pushing each other to one up the other in things like certifications, new technologies, or even interesting client engagements. Recently he came to work with me at Qortex as a Senior Solutions Developer and Microsoft Certified Trainer. Needless to say it was on from day 1.
Well, I think he finally got one up on me that will be very difficult to top. About 6 months ago he was invited to the mothership (Redmond, WA) to help deliver some content to internal Microsoft employees. The event is called Tech Ready. He must have done a good job, because next week he will be flying out again to assist in delivering in-depth SharePoint content to more Microsoft employees. Talk about a dream scenario.
Anyway, I thought I would congratulate him publicly (for which I doubt I will ever live down), and also point some of you to his blog. He has some really good content and also has a good pulse for what is going on in the SharePoint world currently. Not only that but he has a current post on a custom top navigation and side navigation component that we are currently using for a project we are working together.
Check out his blog, I doubt you will regret it.
