I should have taken time to write this post a while ago, but life’s been a bit hectic.
Microsoft has hired three new Evangelists over the last few months for the Texas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana area. I’ve had a chance to meet all three
of them and I’m looking forward to seeing them flourish in their roles.
-
Chris Koenig is the new Developer Evangelist
for the region. His is moving to the Dallas/Fort Worth area right now from San
Antonio and will be focused on evangelizing the “How” of Microsoft’s development tools.
-
Phil Wheat joins as the new
Architect Evangelist for the region. He has a strong background with Sharepoint
and is a very engaging guy. If you attended Dallas Code Camp 2 you might have
had a chance to meet him. He is based out of Austin but I’m sure he’ll be seen
in Dallas more than a little.
-
Zain Naboulsi join as the new MSDN Developer Evangelist and is focused on the MSDN
events through the region. I had a very nice chat with Zain, who also attended
Dallas Code Camp 2, and I think the community will see more of him than you might
have traditionally expected to from someone with his focus.
Welcome to these gentlemen and I wish them nothing but the best in their positions.
I also remind the community to go easy on these guys for a while, they are all brand
new to Microsoft, and Chris is brand new to the D/FW area, so it will take them a
while to get completely hooked in.
