I’d like to thank Sam Kasimalla, co-organizer of Tampa Java User Group and other tech events around town, Suzanne Ricci, Computer Coach’s Chief Success Officer, and Daniella Diaz, High Tech Connect’s cofounder, for giving me the first annual Tampa Tech Community Champion award at the 5th Annual End of Year Tech Meetup Extravaganza, held at Embarc Collective last Tuesday, December 9th.
Here’s a video of the proceedings:
As I said in my quick speech, part of the credit for the award has to go to Anitra. I’m here in Tampa because she’s here in Tampa.
I’d also like to thank all of you in the Tampa tech scene — you make “The Other Bay Area” a great place for techies to live, work, and play in, and I’m happy to do what I can for this community.
