This won’t be news to anyone I have spoken to over the past few weeks, but my family and I have relocated from Greater Orlando to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is a good career move for me, but what sealed the deal was my family’s excitement about moving to the area.

I haven't seen a lot of people mentioning this, but if you are going to #Kubecon and you have a US passport (among many others) you need to get the Electronic Travel Authorization before you go to the UK. It can take up to 3 business days, though mine took 15 minutes.

I’m happy to share that I was recently elected Co-Chair, Public Sector User Group at Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you work in the public sector and are interested in learning more about cloud technologies, I'd love to talk to you!

It is noteworthy how often I will have a vague thought that I do not fully understand it until I have written it out. It is embarrassing how poorly I have recognized and understood this dynamic.
