Congratulations!!! Education is important, but most of us are also looking for ways of using non-traditional education to propel our careers. It's great news to hear that you are being placed in this position.

 

OUTSTANDING!

Congratulations!!

Did going for your DBA play any in the decision? Or was being an all around great guy enough on its own?

 

I worked the pursuit of the DBA into every conversation I could. The all around great guy was obvious to them I believe.

 

Very cool.

Congratulations!
