GOAL(s)!!!! and the need for a mentor

Why wait for January 1 to set goals? Fresh off PASS Summit inspiration, I started mapping out 2023—more blogging, more speaking, and a sharper focus on the skills that matter. The core idea: find a mentor who can help with topic selection, honest feedback, and efficient progress—like a gym coach teaching proper rope-climb form before you actually chase the top.

What I Have Been Working On

Ever feel like your job title changes hourly? In this snapshot post, I lay out the many hats I wear in a small IT shop: gathering requirements, building SSIS pipelines, shaping tabular models, writing DAX, and supporting Excel/Power BI delivery. Along the way I share the tools—DAX Studio, Tabular Editor, Model Auto Build—and what I’m learning next, today, too.
