On October 1st I was awarded the Microsoft MVP for Silverlight.  I am very honored and excited about this.  The MVP program, taken from Tim Heuer’s post, “ is a recognition program that is in place to recognize and reward those individuals who have been identified by individuals (peers, Microsoft staff, etc.) as experts in their technology field and global contributors to the technology”

The other talented group of guys in this round of Silverlight MVP’s are (for the complete list of Silverlight MVP’s follow this link):

• Jeff Paries
• Ambrose Little
• Robby Ingebretsen
• Rick Barraza
• Bryant Likes 
• Davide Zordan
• Huijun Li

Talking about and working with Silverlight has been a dream come true.  It enables me to pursue my passion of creating experiences and not applications (more to come on that). 

There have been many people who have helped me in the MVP process; namely Glen Gordon, Jesse Liberty, Tim Heuer, John Papa, and Justin Angel.  Thank you, and I look forward to the upcoming year.
