I first met Paul a few years later, while he was still at Microsoft. I enjoyed following their work as separate entities and then later when they joined forces. I truly respected their work and really appreciated their professionalism. There was also a certain energy about their collaboration that stuck with me and it was obvious that they absolutely loved what they did for a living.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Jonathan is incredibly gifted technically, and very persistent. If he doesn\u2019t already know the answer to a problem (which is rare), he will stay on it until he figures it out. Erin is very precise and detail oriented which are great qualities for a consultant or DBA. She has also become a respected, world-class authority on Query Store. Tim is very versatile and well rounded, and has become an expert in all things Azure. They have all been great co-workers and friends over the years.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">I\u2019m leaving with a lot of great memories.
