Holy crap – I’ve been chosen as an IBM Champion. . . .

On behalf of IBM, it is with great pleasure that I invite you to join the IBM Champion program for 2016. After reviewing your nomination(s), the selection committee agreed that your efforts over the last 12 months distinguish you as a true IBM Champion.

Well,  this is certainly an unexpected honor,  and something I will need to wrap my head around until I can really grasp it in totality.  It’s also a really great way to start into 2016,  I am looking forward to the upcoming year and my added role as an IBM Champion.

Thank you to those who nominated me and to IBM for choosing me.

Wheew,  now I need a bourbon to celebrate. . . .
