I was recently awarded a scholarship by NaSPA (Network and Systems Professionals Association) to use towards further education. I applied while still in school, but they didn't award the scholarship til after I had finally graduated, so I'll apply it towards grad school. They decided that I was so good looking that they would put my picture on the cover of their magazine, Technical Support. A PDF of the magazine can be downloaded at the link below. The article spans pages eight and nine.

lmao.gif i was trying to "rep" as many people as possible. I fit my wife into it, professors (gotta keep in good contact with them), my company (they edited out the name), and Jesus. All I did was answer the questions, but didn't see a good place to insert, "Go RDTiburon.com!" but I guess I could have tried harder laugh.gif

Honestly, I was EXTREMELY surprised. I sent them like 5 pictures, figuring they'd choose a headshot and put it in the corner of a half-page article. I didn't realize I'd be on the FRONT COVER of the magazine! Nor that they'd have a 2-page spread on the interview. It definitely got more coverage than I anticipated. I was expected something the size of my avatar!
