Let me first start by saying that I have a great job. I have an amazing position which affords me a wonderful balance of technical, business, strategy, and communication. I work with great people, some of whom I have known for many years and others which I have the opportunity to forge new relationships with. I work inside the fastest growing division, with the fastest growing product in the industry, contained within the industry's leading company. I have absolutely no reason to complain and every reason to be excited and grateful.

I have always been proud to be called "his clone" (although it isn't always intended as a compliment.)
