I came to Microsoft in February of 2004 to be a part of the best software company in the world to help customers realize the full potential of SOA.  It started as a team of one and over time it became a lose group of individuals that put a lot of effort and passion into a set of models, methodologies, and tools developed over the course of several customer engagements.  Today I find myself leading Microsoft's SOA Practice, a team consisting of some of the sharpest and most driven architects in the industry, whose sole purpose is to drive customer success with SOA on the Microsoft platform.  This year will see us working with customers across the globe to establish a new bar for the level of agility realized through technology... and much of it will be on display here.  It should be a great year!
