I’m a dedicated husband, father, and lifelong Atlanta Braves fan with over 25 years of hands-on experience supporting Microsoft SQL Server environments. Throughout my career, I’ve developed deep expertise in managing and optimizing SQL Server across a wide range of mission-critical applications; from high-frequency trading platforms to enterprise-scale data warehouses. I hold multiple certifications for Azure, SQL Server, and CompTIA Security+ which reflect my commitment to continuous learning and technical excellence.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a degree in Management Information Systems from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Initially driven by a passion for programming and aspirations to join a leading tech firm, I quickly discovered a deeper interest in the architecture and insights behind the data itself. That shift sparked a lifelong career in data management and SQL Server, where I’ve continued to build expertise and deliver impactful solutions ever since.
This blog was created to share my knowledge of SQL Server with the hope of saving DBAs time and effort in their everyday tasks. I hope you enjoy it!
