Giving credit where credit is due.

My peer group voted me most valuable member of the year. I am very honored by these guys (and gals) for they are some of the people I most respect.

Anyway, I was thinking what this group gave to me

• The Peer Group idea (a local IT members group) Now three strong
• The Extreme IT makeover
• So many technical tools and ways to do things better technically I cannot even begin to start
• A truly deep understanding of financials and more specifically cash flow
• A sounding board (Good or bad)
• Travel to see many other parts of the country and companies
• New Managed services
• We have done business deals together
• Money for winning the great idea contest (Three times)
• So many contacts in the industry I cant count
• A victory celebration when KU won national championship (Thanks Ricky)
• Confirmation of making good decision
• Confirmation of making bad decisions
• Continued development of my career
• Continued development of me

Clearly not a comprehensive list.

I give credit to these folks for where I am at today. THANKS EVERYONE!
