Hall of Fame
2010 Tracy Hamlin
Tracy Hamlin has been a Database Administrator for over 25 years, moving from working with Oracle and Sybase to working exclusively with SQL Server.
I
had several people recognize me at the PASS Summit and the opportunity to meet so
many new people. After receiving the award I had several new job offers and was
thrilled to submit some SQL scripts for Red Gate’s SQL Scripts Manager tool. The
recognition has given me new confidence and the drive to accomplish even loftier
goals.
2009 Josef Richberg
Josef Richberg works at HarperCollins Publishers. He is responsible for identifying and implementing key architectural components, training, and improving the performance of over 130 applications.
Being
recognized by your peers is the highest honor one can receive. I have been given
the opportunity to give virtual presentations, write, blog and network with a very large and supportive SQL twitter
community. It is an unbelievable community that has become an extended family.
2008 Dan McClain
Dan McClain is senior DBA at GatewayEDI. He has 30 years of I.T. experience, including 23 as technical lead for the SQL Server team at Anheuser-Busch in St.Louis, where he oversaw 4,000 databases on 300 SQL Servers.
It
brings another level of ‘wow’ to my resume, like having a special certification.
Since receiving the award I’ve made a couple of great job changes, done local speaking
and participated in community events. It has personally increased my confidence
level.
