Ken Schaefer has joined Readify as a Senior Consultant. For those of you who don’t know, Ken is an IIS MVP and a member of the ASPInsiders community. I’ve known Ken for what would be close to five years and having him come on board is a real highlight for me.
It looks like Frank is going to update his list of Readify bloggers! One thing that I do what to do is reply to some of the comments that I’ve seen on the blogs around the place – I think it was Eddie de Bear that said we should be called “MVPify”.
While its true that we do have many MVP working at Readify, its not that we have a “collect the whole set” mentality, quite the opposite actually. We rely heavily on the recommendations of existing staff members to find new candidates, and since we had a few MVPs from near day dot, its kind of natural that we would “connect” to other MVPs.
Half the people that work for Readify in a technical capacity are not MVPs – but the common thread that binds us all together is natural technical ability with a desire to grow and share our knowledge base.
I’m really glad Ken is onboard too - I only met him once but he really seemed to know his stuff. It’s like they took a smart sys-admin and crossed them with a smart developer and ended up with Ken. All the best devs come from a systems background don’t they mitch :-)?
Absolutely
