About Reed Me

Assimilation is complete. I was beamed aboard the mothership in December 2007 when I finally moved to Redmond after several years in the field with MCS. If you're ever in the vicinity of Building 36, come say howdy!!

I'm one of the dozens of David Reed clones aboard the mothership, but I'm the only David Reed who is a Microsoft Certified Architect:SQL Server. Go me!
