I am deeply honored and extremely humbled to be joining the MVP Data Platform community. This is not something you earn on your own and there are so many people to thank, which I will do individually when I see them. It is always nice to know that my passion for learning and teaching technology is recognized by the community at large. Thank you very, very much.
