Presenter: Matthew Hester, IT Pro Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation

According to Matt Hester, being an IT professional means working with computers right where the magic begins. Matt loves reaching out to users and customers in the local community, and he gets a thrill from installing a server that can send e-mail or provide other valuable services. Matt is a seasoned TechNet presenter, a Microsoft Exchange Server insider, and he worked as a Microsoft Certified Trainer for more than eight years before joining Microsoft. A movie buff with a massive DVD collection, Matt also runs marathons and dreams of being a professional football player or joining the PGA tour. Matt cites his father as his role model: "The older I get, the smarter he gets." It is funny how that works.
