SQLSaturday SpeedPASSes I’ve been working with running SQLSaturdays in the Richmond, VA area for several years now. It seems that every year, I end up blogging something new.

Wow, what a month. On March 22, 2014, the SQL Saturday train came into Richmond VA (RVA). I was one of the organizers of the event, and what a ride we had. The rough part of the ride started off earlier in the week. A freak spring snowstorm rolled through the region. Richmond was spared, […]
For those of you that know me, you know that I enjoy learning, and passing on what I have learned to others. As it turns out, this whole presenting thing has been an interesting path for me. (You can read more about the early disastrous presentations in my life here.) As I have started to […]
