My First Microsoft MVP award
On July 1st I had the great pleasure of receiving my first ever Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award. It was truly a great honor and I am humbled that I was nominated.
I want to give a special shout out to everyone who supports this blog. Your comments, your follows, your likes and your shares–they have all got me to this point. Thank you.
I would like to offer special thanks to my family, friends, colleagues, and employer. Thank you for your continued support and for challenging me to the best I can be.
Certifiable

In 2015 I had achieved my MCSA in Server 2012. This year I picked up my exam in Exchange 2016. I was also grandfathered into the new MCSE Productivity certification.
Still a little undecided on whether my certification track will head towards something Azure or identity-related.
Becoming a US Citizen
This year I had the privilege of becoming a US Citizen. I have lived in the USA for almost twenty years.
Pictured to the right I am receiving my certificate of naturalization from the judge who presided over the naturalization ceremony.
Part of the switch from permanent resident to citizen involves taking a number of tests, being interviewed by a naturalization officer and taking the Oath of Allegiance.
Two responsibilities when becoming a citizen is to participate in the democratic process and serve on a jury when called upon.
Looking ahead
It’s hard to know what 2017 will bring. But with hard work (and maybe a little luck) let’s bring our dreams to reality.
I wish you all the best in 2017–but most of all I wish you good health.
Together, let’s make 2017 the best year ever! Happy New Year!
I came to your site looking for answers to an issue regarding Office 365, SPF, Dmarc and DKIM after perusing the internet. You described in detail how to fix my issue. In the Information Technology business when some techs attempt to explain subject matter that they’re very familiar with they often make assumptions about the subject matter. Assumptions strewn throughout the entire explanation leaves the reader confused. However, your attention to the small details is what sets you apart from Microsoft and others. Thanks to your detailed explanation I was able to understand and fill in the gaps left by other websites on the subject matter. Keep up the great work, I appreciate what you do.
Glad to be of service John. Let me know if there are any articles you’d like to see and I’ll add them to the list. 🙂
