Presenter: John Weston, IT Pro Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation

Some may call John Weston a geek, but he prefers the term "technologist." Before joining Microsoft, John spent six years as a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), helping people learn new technologies at a local college and bringing newly hired Microsoft employees up to speed. Though he is an MCSE, MCDBA, MCT, and Cisco Certified Network Associate, John gets the most enjoyment from teaching customers how to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server. When he is not working, John can usually be found sailing around Texas with his kids.
