- How long have you been in the Salesforce ecosystem? 10 – 11 years
- How did you end up in Salesforce ecosystem? I was part of the leadership team for a consulting company, and I started researching Salesforce because it was on the top of the list of trending technologies. I had never heard of it before and decided to learn what it was all about. About the same time we had a client that needed to migrate from Microsoft Dynamics to Salesforce and I volunteered to help. My first project was doing .Net to Salesforce coding and quickly became obsessed with it.
- Do you have a favorite Salesforce product, such as Experience Cloud or Sales Engagement, or one that you like working with the best? Nope, I love it all.
- Do you have any pets? Personally, I don’t enjoy having pets… but I try to not stop the rest of the family from having them. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a tortoise, a fish, and a horse. I’m not sure a horse is considered a pet for some reason though.
- Where is your favorite place to visit? I don’t really enjoy visiting places.
- Is there somewhere you’ve never been to but want to visit? Nope, I’m pretty content just being in one place.
- If you could only eat 3 things for the rest of your life, what would they be? Sausage Egg McMuffins, Pizzas, and Hamburgers.
- Do you have any hobbies? These days it’s Salesforce, Minecraft, and Pokemon Go.
- Have you ever attended any Salesforce events such as Dreamforce, World Tour, or User groups? I try to attend as many events as I can. I’ve been to many Dreamforces, Chicago World Tours when they had them, Salesforce Saturdays, Milwaukee, and Madison user groups. I’ve also been to Midwest and Florida Dreamin events.
- Do you have a favorite type of music, genre or band? Mostly listening to Taylor Swift but 80s rock would be my favorite.
- Do you cheer for any sports teams? Nope.
- Before working in the Salesforce ecosystem, what was the most interesting job you had? I used to code voice response systems (like Press 1 for this Press 2 for that). I thought that was a little interesting. I got to make a lot of demos for the sales team and it was fun recording my voice to be used.
- What are 3 words to describe Cloud113? Salesforce. Expertise. Flexible.
