I believe that the aid and dedication from family members friends and fitness can resolve some addictions. I’m eager to share my experiences with others to know that there is a way out. The life that you think your living is not who you are, it is the drugs that are affecting year. Being off the opioids helps you understand Who you are and the person people know you to be. Your life and your faith are given to you by your parents. The love of your family and friends will return with open arms as you take the steps to stop Any and all opioids. In life we are nurtured and cared for until we believe we are self-sufficient. Most of the time needing our families to become such. In many cases do use of opioids starts from an injury in my case I suffered from a few back injuries. Since then the opioids have made me into someone that my wife did not Marry . I also no longer have friends or family that associate with me anymore. You may think you’re fine but they know the real you. Until you are off opioids you see who and how you affect people. Faith and beliefs are a key factor in becoming opioid free.

From the moment I picked up my first SharePoint Administrator book (by Bill English) back in 2007, I saw the value in the technology almost immediately. I was an SP administrator turned solutions architect. I am originally from Michigan and after serving 8 years in the U.S. Navy, I decided to make the beautiful state of Maryland my home, which it has been for almost 15 years. I am an avid runner, lover of wine, self-proclaimed tech geek and a pretty cool nerd all-around (I think). I've spent the last 11 years as a technology management consultant, 4 of which have been under my own company, i5 SharePoint Consulting, LLC. As a business owner providing SharePoint services, I started my company based on the principle that SharePoint is a robust, one-stop-shop, collaborative tool that when implemented, developed, and managed properly can provide exponential value beyond its cost. Public speaking has never been my goto thing, but I am so excited to engage in speaking opportunities to evangelize the beauty of SharePoint across the country! SharePoint has been around for a long time, but I do know there is still much to learn and tell about it.
