Congratulations 2009 Microsoft MVP!

April 1, 2009 19 Comments

Wow! I hope that email in my inbox is not some kind of elaborate April Fool’s Day hoax.

It’s an amazing honor to receive this award. I would like to thank Dani, Lindsay, my new MVP Lead Miha Kralj, and everyone who considers my blog a valuable resource. I will do my best to live up to the MVP status by becoming more involved in the .NET community. To start, I will be doing a talk on S#arp Architecture at Philly.NET Code Camp 2009.1 on April 18th. Be sure to come on out if you can! There is a great lineup of speakers and sessions.

MVP

I hope to see many of you at the next MVP Summit!
