Taking Home a TechEx Award

There are few moments finer than sharing the stage with a handful of New Mexico's most admired technology leaders and innovators. Kudos to all who garnered accolades at last night's NMTC TechEx Awards.

Admittedly, I'm a little overwhelmed at walking away with a very dangerous-looking award trophy and have yet to find the nominating culprit but it was a fine and proud pause in the busy work of a technologist. I am truly honored and grateful to receive one of this year's TechEx Awards for Outstanding Achievement.

Thank you to NMTC and sponsors for a glittering evening. Nights like the 4th annual TechEx Awards make me especially proud to be a part of our technology community.
