On Feb 8, 2010, 1 year and 3 days ago, I started working for EMC Corporation. I've been silent on the blog since then. Mostly I haven't posted because I needed to focus on work and wrapping up loose ends from my former life at Xcedex. Some quick updates:
Professional
I've been working as a technology specialist for EMC Backup Recovery Systems division. I'm solely focused on Avamar, and mostly as it relates to VMware environments. It's been a really fun ride, largely evangelizing the technology and getting neck deep with enterprise customers around the upper midwest. We started a user group last year for Avamar. 35 people at the first group, 60 at the second group yesterday. This product is really catching on and solving real problems for people. EMC is a thrilling company to work for, a big pond full of incredibly bright fish.
Personal
My family is well, and I've really been able to reconnect with them since joining EMC. Though it's a busy work environment, I've got my mind back. My children are growing quickly and discovering life. We run our own home school, which has been so far a fantastic experience for the family.
We moved, left the castle in Ramsey and live in a "rurban" house in Rogers MN. (rurban is a rural house in a urban area). It's much better suited for us and has opened a new world of adventure for the kids including a mini forest, pond, wildlife (foxes, variety of birds, armies of squirrels) and 4wheeling.
What's next
Stay tuned, the best is yet to come. That being said, I've found that living in the moment over this last year has severely increased my happiness level.
