Microsoft MVP Award

“We recognize and value your exceptional contributions to technical communities worldwide.”

In March, 2025 I received my first MVP Award for Business Central! I am grateful for the opportunity to do what I love, and enjoy what I do every day with Microsoft Dynamics and all of the related products. To be recognized at this level is quite humbling, but also incredibly encouraging for me to keep learning, doing, sharing, and helping the community!

BC/NAV All-Star Award

“In support of the Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV Community ”

October, 2024 was a very special year at Summit for me, despite having a broken foot and needing to scoot about on an electric scooter (which made for great social media and photo ops!)

The most amazing part however was recognition from the community that I had become a BC/NAV All Star!

The thought of joining this elite group of Dynamics BC/NAV All Star professionals is both thrilling and humbling.

These folks really know their stuff, give a lot of their time, and are so passionate about Business Central!

I look forward to many more years of participation, and am grateful for this award!

Fortunately I had no problem climbing up on the big stage with my big boot . I did have a cool Dynamics 365 sticker on it though!

It was surreal, really, standing there with Shawn Dorward and Brad Prendergast, a couple of amazing guys in the community who I’ve looked up to for years. Congrats to both of you!

Community Summit Legend

“In recognition of outstanding Microsoft Business Applications Community Leadership”

In October, 2023, I was inducted into the family of Summit Legends. To join this group of distinguished Dynamics leaders, key figures, MVPs, highly-accomplished colleagues and to do so in front of a huge gathering of end users and partners was a truly humbling experience. Thank you for the Legend recognition, and congratulations to all of the other Legends!

I am forever grateful to GraVoc, who supports my engaging with all of the Dynamics Communities, for allowing my Dynamics Mindset to work at its full potential, for fielding such an amazing group of talented teammates and fostering an amazing family-first work culture for everyone.

Dynamics GP All-Star Award

“In support of the Dynamics GP Community ”

October, 2025 brought me yet another memorable moment at Summit when I was recognized by the community as a Dynamics GP User Group All Star!

My how the years flew by. For so many of them (20 or so??) I was the person learning from the experts in the GPUG arena. There were so many excellent GPUG trainers, professionals, MVPs, and ISVs sharing their knowledge, solutions, and love for the product, they are the ones who truly inspired and fueled the growth of my Dynamics Mindset. I am forever grateful for their contributions, and I am who I am today because of this incredible journey we’ve shared through the GREAT PLAINS!

Congratulations to fellow GPUG All Star recipients Chris Giesbrecht and Paige Horne - both very strong and knowledgeable professionals, but also incredible volunteers within and for the GPUG community. Thank you, it was an honor to stand on that stage with both of you!

The encouragement and support I got from Kim Peterson and Bob McAdam at the very beginning of my GPUG involvement was incredible. They really loved and supported the GPuggers and I am a better person for having the honor of sharing their presence and benefitting from their generosity.

BCUG Sapphire Award

“The Gemstone Award Program recognizes User and Partner Members who are actively engaged and generously contribute their knowledge and time for the success of our User Group communities.”

As a volunteer who has The Dynamics Mindset 24/7/365, it is always nice to be recognized for the volunteer efforts I am able to give. There are a lot of really great BC/NAV people in the community who earned this award and other Gemstone Awards before me, and I thank them all for leading the way by encouraging everyone, and making it easy for anyone to participate. Thank you for the Sapphire Award, and congratulations to all of the other Gemstone Award winners!

BCUG Summit Programming Committee

“In Recognition of Your Service”

The partner and user group colleagues I have the honor of volunteering my time with help make Microsoft ERP really exciting, foster professional growth for everyone in our community, keep us on top of trends, and truly dedicate their efforts to helping everyone succeed.

Many among this distinguished group also have The Dynamics Mindset and have been using NAV and BC a really long time.

For a Dynamics GP ‘outsider’ like me moving into the BC world, I’ve been welcomed, encouraged, and invited to participate in so many shared experiences by the establishment NAV folks.

We’re all now living in a reality where our GP and NAV ERP worlds are colliding with Business Central and Power Platform and I am grateful to all of you for helping me on my own journey!

GPUG Programming Committee

“In recognition of your service”

It was an honor in 2024 to also officially join the GPUG Programming Committee. As a longtime GP guy, this was really special to have the opportunity to provide direct impact on this scale. I also was on the BCUG Programming Committee at the same time, for Summit in San Antonio, TX. It was truly amazing to work with so many great people for the event. I got to experience the passion and love for these products and the community that all the speakers, the committees, the various boards, and Microsoft do to empower users to do more.

Congrats, and thanks to everyone who put on a great event.
