Back from GCC
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Dave Mast on February-26-2007

This past Friday I had the opportunity to spend the day with Jason Powell and Ed Buford from Granger Community Church.    GCC is about a 5-hour drive from my place and I dig road trips, so I decided to make a one-day gig out of it.

I rolled into the parking lot around 9:30 and met up with Ed and Jason soon after.  We spend the day covering a miriad of different topics, from SANs to backup strategy to VLAN-ing, and a bunch of other things in-between.  I came home that night feeling absolutely exhausted but very inspired and extremely excited about what I do (not that I don’t usually enjoy what I do, but I feel especially pumped).

I can safely say that this was no-doubt the best learning experience I’ve had in the IT field to date, and it was also a great example of what can happen when you get out of the solo gig and start networking yourself with other people who do what you do.  Monster props to Ed and Jason for taking time and allowing me to hang with them for a day. :-)

It was a little less than a year ago that we also had a visit with Jason and Ed (although we managed to get them to do the traveling). Like you, at the end of the time, we were exhausted, and exhilerated! Just think…in two more months, a whole bunch of us get to hang out wth them again, at the Roundtable in Houston!

I know, and I’m excited for you guys! I wish I was going to be able to make the trip in April, but right now it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

Maybe I’m calling it out a little early, but are there plans for another fall roundtable this year?

Thanks for coming up to hang with us Dave!

Looking forward to next time :-)
